Patrick and I took off around noon Friday and started making our way north. The final destination was Salt Point State Park, 75 miles or so north of San Francisco, where we were going to camp with his brother and friends. We made a few stop along the way, visiting friends of Patrick, taking night shots of the Golden Gate Bridge/San Francisco and finding surf boards on the side of the road. It was a big drive north and we didn’t get to the camp site until around 3 AM, then finding a raccoon in one of the coolers and pulling out a 6-pack of Hershey’s bars then scrambling up a tree. We spent some time the next day hanging out and taking a short hike to the ocean, then parted ways to continue the drive north, heading to Lake Shasta, just north of Redding, to visit another brother of Patrick’s. Along the way we stopped at a nice road house BBQ place along the coast, before heading in-land a bit and doing a little rally racing through the mountain roads. We got into Lake Shasta in the evening and headed to Patrick’s brothers house. We spent the next day touring around Lake Shasta and visiting with his brother. In the afternoon we took off to make the journey back and ended up going the entire way, getting back around 2 AM. On the way back we saw the wildfires at night, which had just started when we left for our road trip, and were now spread what seemed to be everywhere. Since then we’ve been relaxing and getting things sorted with the car to get it ready, perhaps the launch date will be later this week.
