Day 148 – Redwood Highway, Part 3

Day 148 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

I’m not sure why I keep hoping for better weather.  I’m in the Pacific Northwest during the rainy season.  I think I just associate California with the sunny beaches of the southern half.  Regardless, the weather was somewhat reasonable today.  I started the morning taking the hottest shower of my life.  Those that know me, know that my tolerance for heat is super high, so for me to say the shower was hot, is like saying boiling water was flowing from the spigot.  At least I was clean briefly.

Day 147 – Redwood Highway, Part 2

Day 147 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Wow. I stayed up way too late in the K-Mart parking lot blogging and taking advantage of 3G service, and I’m paying for it today…feeling a bit sluggish.  I saw all the redwoods I could handle yesterday, so I opted for a change of pace today.  First, in dire need of coffee, I utilized the “Around Me” application on my iPhone to find a local place.  The Boat House Expresso Bar, located on the harbor, sounded good to me.  As soon as I hopped out of VANilla, a nice lady greeted me and said, “I’m sorry, we’re closed right now…doing a little remodeling and painting.”

“Oh, too bad, I was just looking for a cup of coffee,” I replied.

“I have some coffee brewed, but I can’t make you anything fancy,” she responded.
