Leaving the coast.....




On Tuesday (10/11) we left our little house with the sound of the sea lions honking in the distance. (When we first got there, I told Brent, "Listen!! I hear sea lions!" First he told me that it was dogs barking and later tried to get me to believe [as he did!!!!] that it was a recording being played by the rental place next door!!!  It was sea lions!  That man is nutty!!!)  We headed back a little south, then east, on yet another winding road over the Shasta Mountains.  They reminded me of some of the mountains we drove through in Colorado.  We made our way to the Trinity River and down to the Sacramento Valley below. Once down, driving south was easy on the interstate, so we just drove on...having lunch in Redding and spending the night in Napa.  Wednesday morning we took a run through Napa and then began a drive north...exploring the little towns as we came to them. We walked around in Calistoga and stopped for lunch at Mustard's Grill in Yountville.  Really delicious!!! - c
