Salem, OR - Sacramento, CA - Huntington Beach, CA - Salem, OR

Leaving the Oregon rain for a little sun in Cali

Snow in March 


Heading over the Siskiyou Summit between OR and CA

First food stop at the hippie grocery store/deli in Mt. Shasta, CA

Truck with bee boxes to pollinate the California almond trees

A hitch receiver fell off the truck in front of us and narrowly missed coming right through the windshield (there's a big dent in the frame inches away from Ross' head.....scary)

See the dent on the driver's side?  Yikes.


Sacramento/Roseville, CA dog park



On the way to Huntington Beach, CA (just outside of LA)

Beautiful groves of almond trees along Interstate 5 - beautiful in bloom

These hills are normally dry and brown, but this year they are green with all of the rain CA has had

"Are we there yet?"

Rest stop right before we go over the mountains to Los Angeles


Another hippie food stop on the way to LA - Red Dot in Frazier Park, CA


"Will you please sign our compliment book before you leave?"


Hyatt Regency Resort (two thumbs up)





Huntington Beach - Dog Beach






Getting the new windshield installed


Tons of beautiful plants - these are "Birds of Paradise" or "Crane Flowers"


Tinker ordering a vegan pizza in Huntington Beach


Tinker on a bike ride at the beach












Lots of surfers out


Really cool plants




Goodbye sun, sand, and surf - back to Oregon

Tinker working hard in the hotel

Tinker completely missing the truck stop cats outside of the window






"I'm sorry, what?  You want me to go outside in the rain?  That's just silly."

Dry tooth


Tinker's lip gets caught up on her tooth sometimes.....we call it her 'dry tooth'; this is also a great profile shot Ross took
