With Mixed Emotions

I sit Thursday morning at my home computer to make this final entry. Emotions are as mixed as chocolate chip cookie dough. We are glad to be home and at the same time wish we were still on this terrific adventure. Our final day on the road yesterday was far and away the best weather day of the trip. Leaving first thing in the morning Deb did something she hadn't needed to do the whole time, put on her sun glasses. There were a few clouds off in the distance but they disappeared quickly as we passed from Oregon into California. A right turn onto hwy 96 just north of Yreka, Ca and we were on our way to a most pleasant 4 hours of two lane twisty mountain road with no traffic.


As can be seen the road follows the Klamath river for a quick 140 miles. We have decided since the weather is giving us one final beautiful day we will take the long way home and cross over to 101 for the trip south to Lake County. This will also allow for a final special treat, a meal at the Samoa Cookhouse. After a fabulous lunch we are back on the road.


The skies are a brilliant blue and the temps are warmer than any we have experienced in the last 16 days. For the first time on this trip we replace our heavy riding jackets with our mesh jackets for the final 2 hours. With Clear Lake in sight we know the time is near that this adventure is coming to a close.


Mt Konocti in the distance says we have less than 30 minutes and this one is but memories.


I hope you have enjoyed reading this and traveling with us as much as we enjoyed the trip and creating this blog. Planning is already begun for the next one. Until next time!!!!!
