Farewell Oregon!
Forums:
I'm starting this thread to share photos on my way to the Golden Shore!
Had a surreal day today, starting w/ one last appointment w/ my hippie osteopath / music collector, who has a recording studio in his basement. He made me 6 CDs of road trip music but I won't know what kind of tunes are on there until I play them -- what a sweet gesture.
Then got a cappuccino w/ extra art.... took all my computer equipment back to the office, deposit my final paycheck...and take many many calls and text messages from colleagues. This means I'm still not all the way packed yet, but that's alright.
Will post more later... on the road early tomorrow morning and I'll blow kisses to Judit, Surfdead and Noodler as I cruise down I-5!
Portland Ken, I plan to return around Memorial Day weekend, so hope we can get together that week.
Plus, I just got invited to a house party in early April w/ a live band -- so eager for that, and I don't even know which band is playing, and that's alright!

Safe travels ! Look forward
Safe travels ! Look forward to the fotos.
Don't forget the passes along I-5 can get pretty Gnarly this time of year. Snow tires Good; chains Better. I like the Les Schwab diamond pattern (think they're LaClede brand).
Maybe you're taking the 101 Scenic route ?

Got a late start due to late-night packing
Love the mountain pass through southern Oregon.. saw a beautiful sunset from the car, but Shasta was hidden by a dark storm cloud.
Listened to the first 2 "On the Road" mystery CDs... all songs w/ the word "road"... and lots of folk tunes, some that GD played in early years... some cool Johnny Cash too.
Roshambo! Hasta mañana
Everyone: Thanks for your welcomes and good wishes... it was a positive day.

Yay, I made it! .... so
Yay, I made it! .... so happy to hug Roshambo yesterday,.... hadn't seen her since summer 2019!
This place is pretty cool, with sweeping views from my deck of the lights in the valley to the east and the housemates have been very kind. We shared wine and smoked salmon I brought for them from Oregon and told stories... when she learned about my love for Grateful Dead, the owner told stories of hippies coming up into these hills after Shoreline shows looking for camp spots.... and she said "you'll have to educate me on the jamband genre"
It'll be a good place to spend the summer while I look for my own place.
Here's Shasta... the good weather started here yesterday morn!

My Lord how beautiful. Sure
My Lord how beautiful. Sure wish I could attend your housewarming party. Then again, good thing I can't, I would never leave. I used to have a friend, Sandy Lee Vaughan that lived near Shasta. You lucky people.
Enjoy my man !@!

There won't be a housewarming at this place, maybe when I rent my own place.....
Love Shasta village... that would be a cool mountain place to retire.
It's cool to be above the fog, wow! Elevation -~ 1700 ft here
