Yup, that is right...Nebie decided she needed a new hitch! After getting ready to move on from Crescent City, CA we heard an awful scrapping as we started our drive. Bummer but we were lucky to have been on a side street away from traffic! Second lucky moment...it was 4:30 and we were sure all options for a fix were closed...Nope! We packed all of this back-end gear into Nebie and hauled over to "Two Guys" a mechanic shop less than a mile away! Here we met the owner that helped us think through a plan to get a new hitch. We were told it could take overnight for the fixing...so we got the okay to park in the lot and have ourselves a BBQ:)

Welcome to California! We apologize for the delay in posts, no internet connection along the way to keep you updated. We made it to CA on Wednesday! Let us update you on our events after our beautiful drive through southern OR...

Cold shower for Dayllen=free, hot shower for me=75cents, cup of joe at crater lake=priceless:) A good morning hike and a map to bring us to our next destination in california was next on our trip. We drove nebie(our home/van) down through the hidden valleys of Oregon into the foggy Crescent City, CA with no time limit or plans.

After a long day, Dayllen decided to "win" a race to the ocean and dip his toes in. We then finished our evening with drive through dinner and dexter in a parking lot to rest. Another good day on the road. -Lee-Anne

here is day 3 at crater lake. same rags and no shower, say somethin'!!! i changed my boxers, that has to count for something. surprisingly it was super cold even though the drive here was a hot one. just as we were driving into the park it started to HAIL like a mother, so rad!

this is day 2 before we left our mt. hood. and yes, i am a wanna-be-farmer. thanks to brian, lindsay, john and molly for camping with us the night before. good times!!

here is a quick pic of the van shortly before we hit the road. the only addition is the weber BBQ that mark was so kindly storing for me.

well, here we are sitting at world cup coffee and tea about ready to begin our adventure. the plan is to head to mt. hood and camp tonight, crater lake tomorrow and south from there. where we end up...your guess is as good as ours. south is all we know. hurry up lindsay and brian so we can hit the road!!! they are going day one with us.
