I’m not sure I could live in vineyard estate in the heart of Napa Valley for a long time. I think that at some point I would begin to get bored. However, being there for a night, or probably even a couple years, was absolutely incredible, and it was hard to leave. We slept in and spent the morning preparing monstrous omelets…a pure delicacy on road trips. We spent some time planning our next moves and eventually left our “humble” abode around 2:00P.M.
From there we continued driving up the beautiful coast of California eventually ending up on the coastal highway, Route 1, which overlooks the Pacific ocean nearly the entire time. When it isn’t it swings in and out of huge mountains that often line the coast in Northern California. At some point in here we ended up in a town called Boont…yes Boont, and enjoyed some of the finest ice cream I’ve had in awhile. The town looked like it had been extracted straight from a King of the Hill’esque scene where everyone knew everyone, hung out at the gas station, and talked with some sort of accent.
Around 9:00P.M. we arrived in the Redwoods National Forest and found a campground right on the beach. It was super dark so besides the fact that we could hear the ocean we hadn’t any idea of our surroundings and left those bridges to be crossed in the morning. We prepared a campfire feast of smokies (mini hot dogs) with onions and peppers, baked beans, and green beans. Everyone should eat over the fire at some point in their lives if not regularly. From someone that truly loves cooking, there is still few times more fulfilling that eating some prepared over a fire. Another great day ending under the stars with full stomachs.
Making the most of the ridiculous gas prices along the way. Anytime to stretch was a good time.
The sunset along the coastal highway on our way to the Redwood Forest.
Feasting. This is 2 packages of smokies, an onion, a green pepper, and after this picture we dumped a 20oz. can of baked beans on top of all of it. Then we demolished all of it.

If you want to eat extremely good ice cream I suggest you make a stop in Tillamook, Oregon! It is a city on the Coast 2 hours south of Portand! They have a cheese factory and for a fact it has to be the best ice cream place ever!
Plus, you need to stop in Crater Lake Oregon if you want to see some breathtaking scene!
Your trip seems a lot of fun and trust me it is a lot of fun to read it :)
Have fun
