Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I know, would have been heck of a drive from CA to NC just to camp. I just pull for my area when I can. Carry on!

it was a fun trip, albeit quick. unfortunately (fortunately?) we didn't take either of the vans...

we ended up taking my friends Audi, but with the extremely twisty roads on the way there - it WAS nice having a 3.0 V6 and all wheel drive...

that thing has so much freakin grip that you can smell the tires before you can smell the brakes when running it hard.

on a side note I get why Colin hates coming here to Eureka. Driving home we went from 100* outside Garberville and 29 minutes later it was 70* as we neared Eureka.

thankfully it dropped to a respectable 65* once we got back.

thanks for bringing this one back up to the top of the list. I need to get back to Fort Bragg ASAP. I kinda forgot that the beaches there are oddly nice/warm compared to the rest of the coast this time of year...

sometimes the sensation of speed is good enough. I think that's why I miss my little beetle so much. I could (seemingly) race like a raped ape around town all day and barely break the speed limit.
