Motorcycling through the Redwoods.

Everything is so lush, you feel like you’re in a fairy tale.  The needles from the Redwoods keep undergrowth down to mostly ferns and the combo of the red needles with the bright green ferns is soothing.

I found slo-mo!~

SO….Joe and I have landed in the older generation somehow.  All of a sudden we don’t know how to work electronics.  Knowing that….finding the channel scan on our TV was LIFE CHANGING.  Without it, we’ve been stuck on a few channels at each site.  Now that we know how to do it, we get every channel available.  Trust me, on cool, rainy days having a TV will save a marriage.

The other pic is of a cool rig across from us.  It’s kind of a funny story.  While chatting away with an Oregon couple in the laundry room this rig pulled in.  We noticed it at the same time and all admired how cute it was.  As we watched, the 40-something woman stepped out and we were stunned.  She was beautiful!  Everything about her was “just so”, from her clothes to her make-up, to her rig, hell even her husband, when he got out, looked perfect!  What was so funny was that the three of us, without saying a word, slowly looked down upon ourselves.  I was bandana clad with muddy sweats,  a raggedy t-shirt and Joe’s sweat jacket.  Nothing, of course, even almost matched.  I think I brushed my teeth that day but even that is iffy. My face hadn’t seen makeup in a week.  My two companions were similarly clothed. We sheepishly looked at ourselves then each other and just started rolling with laughter.  How the hell do they pull it off?  I stalked them the next day only to find the perfection continued.  Hats off to ya–wish the rest of us knew your secret and we are all a little ashamed that you pull that off in such a small rig.  Surely this is their first stop?  Either that or that camper is a portal to a luxury hotel and they have us all fooled.

Tomorrow we head down Highway 1, California Coastal Highway.  Not sure where we will land–wish us luck!
