Your 1500 in the snow? You are braver or crazier than I thought.

Wow the whole demerit thing went right over my head which is funny as I am usually the one that brings it up.

When I read "This moment is chilling as we all wait for ... well you know ..." I filled in the blank with tow truck not gas cap alignment judging. Glad I was wrong and the drive went well.

Petaluma CA to Eureka CA. 4-27-16

Great Ocean views on Hwy 1
We were proper tourists and paid $5 to drive through the Redwood tree.
A bit of AM rain but mostly dry and cold.
Looks to be the only bad weather day for the 2 weeks.

I just wonder? Why do people cut up a tree of 2400 years old to drive thru when you can easily go around?

Along the CA and OR coasts today. Dry but cold.
The Point Blanco lighthouse near Port Orford.
Hay in the grille when you drive behind a truck loaded with hay bales.
