Seattle Road Trip 2016
Day 09: Yachats to Portland – 218 miles (1,560)
State Plates: 38/50 Not much doing today, mostly driving. We stopped for lunch and a walk in Canon Beach. This beach sported a wide collection of giant rocks not far from land, a feature of Oregon that seemed to start abruptly at the state line. I wonder if that’s how Read more

Day 08: Crescent City to Yachats – 229 miles (1,342)
State Plates: 38/50 So it turns out California does have an end, you just have to take a week off work to find it. Along today’s drive we stopped at a few overlooks, a secluded cove and a spout called Thor’s Well. I prefer to call it Thor’s butthole, because Read more

The Dyerville Giant
These photos are all of a single tree. I’ve photographed some info on it. Since the pictures don’t do it justice, perhaps the story can breathe some life into them.

Day 07: The Redwoods Mendocino to Crescent City – 241 miles (1,113)
State Plates: 36/50 Photographing the redwoods is a fool’s errand if ever there was one. Here are a bunch of pictures we took of the redwoods. Some of these are over a thousand years old and stand more than 300 feet tall. In person they don’t look real. Or maybe Read more

Day 06: Part One Napa to Mendocino 180 miles (872)
State Plates: 33/50 We didn’t see a ton of interesting stuff on today’s drive, so I’ll just post some photos from the place we’re staying tonight. It’s called the Heritage House. The grounds have a whole bunch of different lodges almost built right into a cliff side. At times the Read more

V. Sattui
The last place we visited seemed to be known more for its deli than its wines, but both were very good. Their tasting room was married to an impressive market with more cheeses than I knew existed, a wide range of meats, salads and sandwiches, olive oils, spreads… the list Read more

Beringer
The second stop was at Beringer, which is a fairly mass market wine but their grounds are amazing so we decided to check it out. Besides that, the wines we tasted, as with most of those we sampled today, can only be purchased at the winery. The wines here were Read more

Day 05: Napa 52 miles (692) Castello di Amorosa – Part One
State Plates: 33/50 Today we hit 3 wineries, all of which were amazing in sight and taste. I’m going to post a few sets of pictures for each because I need more than 10 photos (the post limit here) to get the point across. This first one, Castello di Amorosa, Read more
