The Final Frontier?

Before hitting the Memorial day highway from hell we had one more pit stop before heading back towards the coast.
Palmer's Persuit
Every Paintball geek's heaven! 

   
Wine country!
Who knew we would come across the steepest most windy road of the journey, Napa valley to Sanoma valley?

     
These photo's show only the good times which were few and far between on our Northern journey. Mostly the coast brought us foggy rainy weather that wasn't worth documenting, it's only purpose was to depress us.

Stopping off in Trinidad California we camped in the damp forest and got
down to some REAL camping.... i.e. BBQ and beer
and then ...
the real rain came!
What better time to experience our first flat tire of the journey. Pulling into a gas station an exacto blade fit nicely in our tire, on the rim in minutes. Nick, being the good man he is, changed the tire in the torrential down pour. 

    
and then the wipers went! 

Tell me, what better way to warm up than with a fresh bowl of 'bus' made soup?
After a a bottle of Chocolate Stout and a Dead Guy Growler we were on the hunt for this Oregon brewed beer.
We found it. 
We sampled it.
We fell in love with it.

A stop in Seattle took us to EMP and a wonderful visit with family and friends 
   

 
Looks like we're almost home!
