Left Thursday after work and headed down to Medford, OR. Got a hotel about 1am. Woke up Friday, had breakfast at Sheri's. Drove to the Mystery House at the Oregon Vortex. That place was perty damn cool.
After that, drove to Lake Shasta. Showed up 15 min too late to take the Shasta Caverns tour so me moseyed around the lake for a bit. Saw the dam, swam a bit, then drove into Redding, CA to get a hotel and some food. Had 2 double double's from In and Out. Best. Ever. Scooped out some hotties at the hotel, drank a few beers with them, passed out.
Saturday, we drove back up to the Shasta Caverns. Took the tour. Headed back into Redding for some more In and Out. Then took off on hwy. 3 toward Eureka, CA. What a drive. Beautiful scenery, lots of twists and turns, lots of passes and hills, perfect blue skys, that drive kicked ass. When we got on the coast, clouds of course. Drove up through the Redwood Forest. Hikes some, got lost, found our way out. Headed back toward Eureka for a hotel. Stopped on the beach, played with a seal and took some pics of it. Weather sucked, it was actually cold.
Got back to Eureka, couldnt find a hotel. Some sort of hippie Kinetic Machine races. Stopped at the Lost Coast Brewery for some food and some good beer. Food kicked ass, real good. Beer was even better. The IPA and the Hefe were kick ass. Finally found a hotel room. 2 friends crashed, I went back to the bar to taste what other beers they had. That was a long night.
Sunday, he headed out, drove up 101N. Saw some more of the Redwoods. Stopped off in some town on the Oregon coast, beautiful beach, took a swim in the ocean, relaxed for a few hours in the sun. Got a bite to eat at some hole in the wall in Bandon, OR. The burger I had was one of the best. Clam chowder was also real good. Then headed out on 199(?) to I5. Ran into some 'Good Ole' Boys' outside of Bandon, town was Ten Mile(?) I think. Drunk as a skunk 3 dudes in an F150 driving like assholes and throwing beer cans out the window.
Headed up I5 Sunday night, got back in town around 11.
Long ass weekend, but it was all worth it.
