Spent a few days around the SF Bay, between Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco. Drove back to Yosemite for 4 days. We saw some deluxe sunsets,
hiked along part of the John Muir Trail,
and came across some bitchin' rainbow-waterfall scenery
Seriously, I was just waiting for a unicorn to come along.
Back to Oakland for a day, then out to the Pacific Coast to continue northward.
Camped that night just outside of Fort Bragg. Apparently my Jeep was visited in the night by some curious creatures.
Following my route up the coast, I stopped by the Trees of Mystery. There's a lot of crazy shit in California.
I camped just across the border in Oregon that night.
Continued up the Oregon coast.
Stopped at Prehistoric World because, well, I had to.
Pulled over to check out Oregon Dunes overlook. Found a trail, and made my way out to the beach. I had a solid 3 miles of Pacific Ocean all to myself.
Made my way up into Portland, stayed with my friend Lindy and her parents for a few days. Got to spend a few hours at Powell's, saw a movie at the Baghdad, and drank lots of fantastic beer. Left Portland for Seattle, swinging by the east side of Mt. Rainier.
Oh, and I got to see more columnar basalt.
Spent a week in Seattle, wandering around downtown, drinking, and playing Rock Band 2 with Tyler and his housemates. Got to do a bit of hiking just outside of Seattle. Not much wildlife, save for a few enormous slugs.
Today, we went to the zoo. We got to feed the tapirs,
the ostriches,
and a giraffe.
Leaving tomorrow morning, planning on heading down to and around Mt. Rainier again before aiming the Jeep east, towards Yellowstone.
