A visit with family

Yesterday we left Crecent City at around noon. We decided to do our laundry while we had the opportunity, so we spent the morning taking care of laundry and cleaning up the trailer. We took the scenic route around the pass and were treated to some very spectacular views and wildlife (including a family of deer that we managed to get a picture of).
We also stopped off at the beach for about 20 minutes or so to let everyone stretch and play in the sand. Zoe (our dog) wore herself out carrying large pieces of driftwood around the beach.

The truck is still running great and we've had no surprises. It's hard to believe sometimes that everything that we own is rolling along behind me. There are times when I can't even tell that the trailer is connected to the truck. I am glad that we chose a truck that was overkill for the weight of the trailer.

We had a good visit with my parents last night. We visited them up at their home on Kneeland and all went out to dinner at a fancy Mexican Restaurant. As always it was beautiful on the mountain. We all received some going away/house warming presents that will come in very handy on our adventure.

This morning we're off to breakfast with Becky's sister so we can meet and say goodbye before we head south. We might also be seeing my sister there too if we can arrange it this morning.

It started raining last night here at the coast. I was hoping to be far enough South to bypass the storm, but it looks like we'll be spending the majority of today's travel on wet roads. Not too big of a deal, we will just take it slower than normal. It looks like once we get a few more hours south of here we'll be back in the sunshine.

I've got to get ready for breakfast. Hopefully I'll be able to post more later...
