Loving this years entries, and the swap meet is fantastic.

I’m trying to fly home from DC. we’ve been sitting in our plane in a parking lot for over an hour while the rain and thunder gets worse.

I started the long trek home today. It was great to get away, but all good things must come to an end. 740 miles to go.

UPDATE: I made it. Nearly 700 miles on just the i5. it’s good to be home. (12 hours of driving, wow)

We went to an amazing farmers market in Eugene to fuel up for a wonderful hike. Wonderful trails and great bird watching. Got some great photos. Then it was off to portland (after a snack). I managed to get us lost and eventually blazed my own trail (where i shouldn’t have) and was left with 2 flat tires. my roadside assistance plan hooked us up with the craziest tow truck driver ever. a great guy from san diego who was excited to see other californians. He towed us to costco and even hung out for a while waiting for our friend. Thanks again Denise! After that we snacked at Burgerville a eco friendly (and delicious) fast food joint. And nested at Denise’s place. here are some photos. Now i’m off to Costco to get some new tires and then we’ll explore the city. i hear they have a giant bookstore here.

After a handful of slows days, we’re packing up and shipping out to Eugene. We’ll stay there for the night, check out some local hot springs and eventually make it up to Portland.

Just a few amazing moments.

Goodbye California, i’m off. See you later.

I have completed the first leg of my journey. Not surprisingly last minute needs sent me way off schedule. I adapt. I am especially liked the use of coats. Something i rarely get to enjoy in Los Angeles.

i am waiting in a line that can be seen from space for Bruce and the rest of the cast of USA’s Burn Notice. at least I can camp once I get inside.

Back again for the largest gathering of nerds Anywhere! now if only traffic wasn’t horrific, I might be there by now.
