First Post of 2017

Well as a person who hates politics, I still can't avoid that Donald Trump is now POTUS?!  It makes me think that all the presidents the last 50 years were never good people, but whomever the electoral collage could use as a scapegoat to blame all that is wrong with the world.

It just seems like a cruel joke.....

If you were wondering how my road trip was it was AMAZING!  I hit every stop as mentioned in my earlier post except for Yosemite.  It was just too far to travel out of our way in order to get me back to work in time, as well as to avoid all them snowy mountain regions.

Highlights include:

Kayaking the Santa Cruz sea caves on New Years Day.

Epic sunrise at Joshua Tree

....directly followed by waking up in a snow covered Yreka town just south of the Oregon border

Cacti and a hidden desert oasis

Waking up to the sound of the ocean

Seeing dolphins and getting splashed on a choppy boat ride

Miles and miles of Redwood trees to ourselves

Finding signs of spring!!!!

Although we never got a 70 degree day as we had hoped for.  We saw the sunset at least twice after 5pm in some really epic places
