Nevada to Oregon

California's Mt. Shasta

An Oregon sense of humor

FLORENCE, OR - - Hot describes just about all of our trip time from Goldfield, NV to when we made it out of California.  Oregon (Port Orford to be more exact) where we spent last night (Saturday) has been cool... to the tune of a 50-decree difference.  It was either 108 or 110 or 111 degrees Friday night when we stopped. in Redding, CA.   This morning's (Sunday)  the temp was 58 degrees.  Way cool.
     Of course, out on Mt. Shasta in California it was cold enough to keep the mountain's eight glaciers from melting too much.
     To get to the Oregon Coast from the inland route we were on, Lydia found a way and we were on to another of "Lydia's excellent adventures".  These always involve routes to seemingly nowhere to get somewhere.  About 80 miles of desolate up and down road over a coastal mountain range with basically no straight parts later we emerged to see the Pacific and the Oregon Coast in  all its glory.  Even "The Leader" was a bit surprised noting that if she had known what type of trip was going to transpire she probably wouldn't have suggested it.  Yeah, right.
     Why no photos of the road and the terrain??  I couldn't unclench my fingers from the steering wheel death grip.
