Eurekaaaaahh

Well I made it up here fine.
took a bit of time because i stopped off in san francisco at Mr S leathers to pick up some j-lube.
they just happened to have some stuff MedicalToys.com wanted so i got to bring it up with me.

i also stopped a couple of times and there was some traffic.
the commute would definitely suck.
but the drive, without actually having to really be somewhere at a specific time is really incredible.
i haven't been up through napa/calistoga/medocino in ages.
i forgot how gorgeous everything is.
i forgot how fucking huge the redwoods get.
I want to leave early when i head south so i can stop off at the tourist spots and take scenic detours.
while i'm up here i might as well pick up some wine at the source for the parents.

it ended up getting dark about a 100 miles before Eureka.
awesome seeing the sunset behind the tops of giant redwoods, but as i got nearer the coast, 101 ended up getting covered with bits of fog.
it was like driving through the clouds.

took a lot of shots with my camera of the drive up.
i wonder if anything good came out.

i think i killed a crapload of bugs.
i'll have to wash the car again when i get home.

oh, and i think i got tan driving up. unfortunately it's all on my left arm.
poop.

in one moment you thinking you look forward to the drive to get lust for road trip satiated. In another you grumbling about having to do the drive. Glad you pretty much enjoyed it.
