July 24, 200818 yr We are at Redding today. We were going to drive the 299 but a quick look at the map we have reprogrammed Thomas (Tom Tom GPS) with going down the A16 and join the 36 and drive the coast on the 101. This message was brought to you by Redding Subway who have free internet.

Neat. If it's warm there at all, you'll really want to avoid the Red Bluff area. 36 will take you through the very small town of Mad River and if you like to fly fish, spend a little time on the Mad River below the Dam, great for Rainbow Trout and I've spend many hundreds of hours enjoying myself there. When I first went to Mad River on 36, it was a dirt logging road and you had to cross the creeks 17 times (hense the sign at the beginning, "17 DIPS", which I found out later what it meant) and dodge logging trucks all the way, but I imagine it's a lot better now. At Leggett, you can take Hwy 1 to the Coast and it's a really beautiful drive down the ocean, you'll take a lot of photos and there are great places to have lunch. Happy motoring! Jon
July 30, 200818 yr Last weekend we stayed at Ishy's house. I went to the local trail with him and his lads Trevor and Brian whilst Marilyn went shopping. Whilst at the trial I even managed to ride the Sherdako or Sudoku and it survived. Thanks Jay. Thanks to John and Lisa for allowing us to park Harvey the RV on your front yard for a couple of days and looking after us. We are at Seattle now and will be driving up to Vancouver in a few days. From there we will fly to Anchorage and the board a ship to sail back down the Alaskan coast and the Inside Passage. Cheers' Peter
July 30, 200818 yr It was nice to meet you and the wife Pete, shame we couldn't of taken you for a proper rev down Tilamook burn.
July 31, 200818 yr MMMM what a trip! Then you must find Steve and Dave! Up there, in the wilderness, somewhere!
August 14, 200818 yr We're sorely lacking an update here. He's probably still in the buffet line on that boat and waiting for more shrimp and crab! Poor slob!
August 19, 200818 yr Yes boys and girls we did spend some (too much) time in the dining rooms on the ship. Marilyn now has me on a diet to reduce me back to my slim body that you all know and love. We are now at Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. At N 52.87740 W 118.08360 for those playing along at home. Since being removed from the ship (no one wanted to leave) we have been on the road doing some walking and sightseeing. The next week will be spent around here and heading along the Icefields Parkway to Banff and then back into the USA.
