The Adventure School hits the open road. We decided to travel by land on the last leg of the trip. This was to see the best unrestricted views of NorCal and stop at two favorite places, Anna’s house in Ashland and the Middle Earth Crystal shop in Shasta. Everything was whizzing past us then we hit the mountain pass between these two charming destinations and there was a bit of a blizzard. It happened suddenly and then we got dissed by the Oregon Department of Transportation and told to turn back. Apparently, our trusty Prius was not so trusted by the DOT to weather the storm (HA!). Luckily, we happened upon a delightful combination gas station/ liquor store who did not sell chains but did advise us to buy some water in case we became trapped. We heeded their advice and headed on back down the highway to a little gas station thirteen miles north of Yreka. (This is of course dashed Aviva’s hope of making it to the YREKA BAKERY that day, but, eh? Next time?) Where we proceeded to buy chains, look like city slicker, get propositioned by drunks and finally after an hour or two hanging out in the snow, get our chains attached to our car and head back on the highway. We made it and were welcomed with open arms into a winter wonderland. Awesome! The next day we drove eight hours to Seattle. Making note that central Oregn raises more Sheep then we’d ever seen and that listening to hits of the 90′s on the radio is dreamy. Yay! Leave a Reply |
