Tomorrow we start our journey back to Oregon. We are stopping at Crater Lake for a day and then head to Becky's house. It has been wonderful visiting with all my Knitterly friends and I hope to be back soon. We aren't certain that we are going to have Internet at Crater Lake, but we are super excited about staying in a cabin in Crater Lake National Park!

After enjoying the scenic drive from The Trees of Mystery to Eureka California we decided to go the movies via Limo ride!
The next day we went for the long drive from Eureka to Petaluma via Ukiah California and we found the best Sushi stop. This is a Pele Goddess roll

We arrived late at Pat and Bill's house and got a great nights sleep. Next morning after a rocking good breakfast ala Pat we hit the streets of San Francisco here Mariel and Emily on the corner of Haight and Ashbury
Then to Chinatown for lunch

On the Road Part 3

Trees of Mystery...its my favorite and I'm so happy I shared it with the ladies! Here we are starting out up to the tram

This is the view from the observation platform
The ladies getting ready for their walk
All too soon it was time to get back into the car and on the road we went. Warning if anyone is thinking about taking the scenic loop, it is rough terrain and NOT for trailers..... but the views are breathtaking
Going down to the beach
there were flowers
and along the tide mark I found all these roses, I don't know what or why but I collected them and put them in this sheltered spot near some drift wood, thanks Mom!
Emily on the left and Mariel on the right enjoying the sun!
These are some neat seeds

We arrived in Eureka Ca. and decided to go to Toy Story 3 in style the hotel has a limo

We had to walk back but it was fun. Today we are heading to Petaluma to drop the yarn off along with the trailer. We are planning a fun day in San Francisco tomorrow and then Knitterly fun!
