Driving to San Francisco!

So after leaving the Redwoods Parks of Northern California I continued south towards San Francisco. I had a great time driving past the redwoods and also driving along the Pacific Coast Highway which was all curves and cliffs. It was exciting, but it would have been extremely difficult to ride in the passenger seat with me at the wheel. I was probably going a little too fast around some of the curves! I made it to San Francisco for the 4th of July so there is about a 1 month lag in my video updates right now. I really liked this area of the US, from San Francisco north to Seattle. It seems like a very nice place to live...

Redwoods!

I had a great time camping among the redwoods in Northern California. I would recommend that everyone at some point in their lives must walk among these silent giants. The shear scale and age of these organisms is mesmerizing. A single tree can live 3000 years and even after it dies can take as long as 1000 years just to rot and decompose. There aren't many areas where there are still old growth redwoods, but I am glad that we have taken the necessary steps to protect these forests for future generations. Its just peaceful and somewhat mystical walking through a foggy forest of millenia old trees. I hope you enjoy the video, but in no way does it do the real deal any justice. This is something you just have to see for yourself. Ok... so I keep changing up the format too.. Click on the picture below to take you to the video on YouTube's website. It is just easier to do it this way, because the people that own the blog site don't like how long my videos are so I have to use YouTube.

Getting the truck back from LA

Well... I may have a problem. IF my truck makes it all the way to LA (and I hope it does) then I will have to figure out what to do with it. There are a few options.

1. Sell it for what it is worth... maybe $800.
2. Ship it back via a semi-truck transporter... approx. $700.
3. Store it.... don't know the cost. In LA too? Might get stolen.
4. Have some one drive it back for me... priceless.

So... those are my options. I guess the best option would be for someone to drive it around and possibly deliver it to P'cola or park it in their yard somewhere or something like this. Any ideas?

So if somebody would like to join me in LA and drive my truck around in the end of June or first part of July that would be killer (literally too, no A/C). I can't imagine the misery of that truck on a freeway in LA for 2 hours of bumper to bumper traffic pumpin' the clutch and sweating furiously. That is surely someones version of hell.

One other thing is that I will have a bike with me and a lot of camping gear that I will need to either ship back via the mail or ship back with my truck. Shipping all of that stuff, bike included would probably cost over a hundred dollars. So that is something to consider too. Better put on my thinking cap...
