pa. Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 We are at Redding today. We were going to drive the 299 but a quick look at the map we have reprogrammed Thomas (Tom Tom GPS) with going down the A16 and join the 36 and drive the coast on the 101.

Neat. If it's warm there at all, you'll really want to avoid the Red Bluff area. 36 will take you through the very small town of Mad River and if you like to fly fish, spend a little time on the Mad River below the Dam, great for Rainbow Trout and I've spend many hundreds of hours enjoying myself there. When I first went to Mad River on 36, it was a dirt logging road and you had to cross the creeks 17 times (hense the sign at the beginning, "17 DIPS", which I found out later what it meant) and dodge logging trucks all the way, but I imagine it's a lot better now. At Leggett, you can take Hwy 1 to the Coast and it's a really beautiful drive down the ocean, you'll take a lot of photos and there are great places to have lunch. Happy motoring!

pa. Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Last weekend we stayed at Ishy's house. I went to the local trail with him and his lads Trevor and Brian whilst Marilyn went shopping. Whilst at the trial I even managed to ride the Sherdako or Sudoku and it survived. Thanks Jay. Thanks to John and Lisa for allowing us to park Harvey the RV on your front yard for a couple of days and looking after us. We are at Seattle now and will be driving up to Vancouver in a few days. From there we will fly to Anchorage and the board a ship to sail back down the Alaskan coast and the Inside Passage. Cheers' Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pa. Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yes boys and girls we did spend some (too much) time in the dining rooms on the ship. Marilyn now has me on a diet to reduce me back to my slim body that you all know and love. We are now at Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. At N 52.87740 W 118.08360 for those playing along at home. Since being removed from the ship (no one wanted to leave) we have been on the road doing some walking and sightseeing. The next week will be spent around here and heading along the Icefields Parkway to Banff and then back into the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Looks like way too much cream cakes, and not enough roo cababs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
