We're back from our Spring 2008 Trip

We've just completed our 3249 mile spring trip through Prineville, OR; Reno, NV; San Marino, CA; Monterey, CA; Redding, CA, Ashland, OR and Vancouver, WA.

We visited great relatives and friends, including:

• Molly and Dave Freitag, always enjoyable folks, in Prineville, OR and their two poodles, Schatzy and Abby.
• Nancy and "Big" Ed Frykman (5 days of great joy and "Big" Ed's wonderful cooking). Nancy is the best tour guide ever;
• Carolyn's long lost cousin, Nancy Brown and her husband Tim (great fun) Redding, CA;
• and, Pirkko Silfversward, Lars ex-wife (you remember Lars?) in Ashland, OR;
• we also got to visit my cousin Clark McKee and meet his new wife Terri in Reno (congratulations). Clark really married up.
  
• and, Jim and Carolanne Olson (our ex-sister-in-law in Vancouver, WA.
• Thanks to all for adding your warmth and hospitality to our adventure.

Everyday one of 18 days was absolutely jammed with adventure, culture, eye-popping scenery.

Must see in your lifetime:

• Central Oregon, including the High Desert Museum near Bend, OR.
• Central Oregon in general.
• The route from Reno to Lancaster, CA down the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
• Joshua Tree National Park.
• The Huntington Library in San Marino.
• The Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
  
• The La Brea Tar pits, Los Angeles.
• The Hearst Castle, San Simeon.
  
• California Highway 1 from Santa Barbara to Carmel.
  
• Monterey Aquarium, Monterey.
  
• Northern California from Redding to Ashland, OR.

A good long road trip will reminds all us of what a wonderful country we live in. Virtually every turn was a spectacular vista and we met wonderfully nice people from the couple in a Lakeview, OR resturant to Jann the Swede, the barber in San Marino who added new meaning to getting a hair cut.
