Come this Thursday morning, about daylight, my lovely wife and I are heading out from Fresno in our REDLINE RED SSR for points north, across Oregon and Washington, all the way to Victoria, BC! (...that's British Columbia, for those of you in Rio Linda... hee, hee). Our route takes us up the San Joaquin Valley, past Mount Shasta, and into the deep forest of northern California.
First overnight stop is Crater Lake, in southern Oregon (deepest lake in the US, and one of the most photographed places on earth - can't wait to take an SSR shot there!). Then, on up, winding through the Cascades, through misty, forested valleys, past a jillion waterfalls (that's why they call them the Cascade Mountains), to Portland, home of the "freeze-dried hippies", and on to our next stop, Seattle, (great coffee - which we will need, at that point).
Then, Saturday morning, VERY early, we will drive the red roadster onto the CAR FERRY and sail over Victoria! This is our second visit to a magniificent, very British city (also the capital of BC). My wife, the garden princess, is dying to see Butchart Gardens. She also insists on High Tea at the waterfront Empress Hotel.
Then Sunday, it's back in Seattle, TO WATCH MY BULLDOGS TAKE ON THE WASHINGTON HUSKIES - WHAT A DOGFIGHT!!!

Then, on Monday, hopefully without a hangover, it's back on the road, this time to Gray's Harbor, Washington, down across the Columbia River, and then, all the way down the magnificent PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) to Tillamook, Oregon for some cheese, and on to Gold Beach.
Finally, on down the PCH to Mendocino (beautiful, foggy and historic), and then back to Fresno/Clovis. Pictures will be taken, and I promise to post 'em, along with shot's of some cool pinstriping!
Cheers,
