Part II - SF >>> Portland


Second leg of the west coast junklet and goblin ogle. This leg, departing SF en route to Seattle. Portland as the spanner.

Our chariot was some vintage of modern Mitsubishi. Turning radius of bulldozer. 

 Headed up the 101 to the PCH, cut over to the 5 around Crescent City. Many, many redwoods.

Golden Gate Banshee Baptism


We have returned from the Best Coast.
No injuries. Several slugs found, captured, categorized.
Discovered Giant Redwoods make tiny pine cones.
My eldest remains a tough sleepover.

Managed to assist on a sacrament.
Caught up with messrs. Bryce + Pawel + Eagle + Cordani + Cameron.
And intro'd MA to her cuzzins.

Why does this upgrade make everything appear poetry?
