Many hours in the Charger ensued. Many, many hours. My head was so fried that at one point I forgot that I was driving an automatic and I stomped on the brake pedal with my left foot. You know, to hit the clutch so I could shift. I was pulling out of a gas station so I was going very slowly. It could have been worse; I could have stomped on the brake pedal while on the highway or something. I conceded defeat and gave up the drivers' seat after that.Finally we hit the redwoods. Out of everything on the trip, I was most looking forward to seeing the redwoods. We didn't get to spend much time there but we had enough time to drive through the hollow tree and feed crackers to a cranky goose and eat hot dogs cooked by a lady who looked as though she would stab someone with her bbq fork if she had to answer one more question about trees.
It's so thick! (that's what she said)
It's hard to believe that despite man's ridiculous curiosity with those trees and the need to drill a hole right through the middle of one, that they remain largely untouched. I drove through that same tree ... almost 30 years ago!
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of all the hours you spent driving during this trip. Anything longer than 4 hrs in the car makes me feel like I'm going to chew my arm off.
ReplyDeleteYou're making me want to get in the car and drive to California.
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said? Oh wow, you make me happy, lady lol

ReplyDeleteaw, what a great trip. you know, i've been to sfo THREE STINKING TIMES and have never seen the redwoods?! my travelling companions clearly suck.
ReplyDeleteSO pretty! Matt is really wanting to see the redwoods. Hopefully we can make a trip out to California next year and see all these great sites!
ReplyDeleteLove the redwoods. I haven't been in years - this reminds me I need to go again!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally giggled out loud at "that's what she said!"
