From the home movie role of an aspiring shakespearian actress
....somebody wants to live in Ashland. oh yeah. goooooood luck!
sunday
We started off our day with a nice light breakfast, then headed out to try to find the kinetic race. This ended up being a walking tour of the industrial part of Eureka.
Eventually we found the kinetic sculptures in the water. One of the best ones was the hippipotimous, which was quite impressive.
We made our way to the staging area, and ended up being interviewed by the Discovery Channel (for the new Daily Green show, will air in June). We wanted to see the chicken sculpture go into the water, but they were taking forever and not at all ready so we left to get some lunch.
After lunch, we headed to a wine tasting room, only to discover it was closed on Sunday. For dinner, we went to the lost coast brewery, after we found out that a bunch of other places were closed on Sunday. It was good again.

Sunday: Kinetic Sculture Race Here We Come
We stayed up all night last night perfecting our Kinetic Sculpture - we are headed out now to try and "slip in" to the race midway. Today is the water portion...yippeee! Look for us online!
Saturday: 13 miles of hiking....steep hiking
The one place that supposedly we were supposed to get fishing tackle at (it is not like there are multiples of anything inside the Smith River NRA) was closed. Maybe they had "gone fishin". Unfortunately that left us tackleless...but we didn't let that get us down....we decided to go hiking instead! We stopped at the visitor center for Redwood State and National Parks to find hikes to do.
We spent almost an hour in the park visitor center talking with a ranger about different hikes, drives, the history of the park, different tree bark types, the watershed, logging, whales, and an endangered seabird that nests in the old growth forests. Will and I thought it was really interesting but apparently Leslie cannot concentrate on anything while standing up.
The first hike that we did (or, more like a stroll) was the stout road trail - a short half mile loop. It was a great introduction to seeing some really cool lookin redwoods.
The next hike was on the Boy Scout Trail, a much tougher 3.7 mile trail (X2) out which ended at a waterfall. On the way, we detoured to see a the boy scout tree (a big redwood).
After forfeiting lunch , we did the Damnation Creek Trail. This took us 1000 feet down to the coast, then up that 1000 feet back to the car. It was 2.5 miles (5 miles total round trip). Surprisingly, we made better time coming back uphill than down. The difficulty class of this trail was six (out of six). I had to drag Leslie and Will but once they saw all the old people walking up that had done it they felt like they had to do it...haha. The view at the rocky beach below was well worth the hike back up.
We arrived in Eureka at the Carter House Inn just in time to shower before heading out to the Lost Coast Brewery for dinner. We saw lots of kinetic sculpture people there - what AMAZING costumes.
Then we drove down to Eureka

Where is the fun?
If you [family] don't start posting some comments then maybe we will stop posting some blog....surely it is easier for you guys that it is for us in the boonies. :-)
Good Morning Sunshines!!!
What I awoke to this morning:
"I love it when I'm wrapped in white sheets and its dark....I finally look tan!!!!"
Last night we also survived a night in the same room as ...."the killer electric blanket". Will was startled to find wires and electronic parts incased in the blanket he was sleeping with and thought it was going to strangle or electrocute him in the night....but he survived!!!!
Also last night we survived the "killer green flash" of the internet card telling us that it was meagerly trying to upload the pictures (it timed out).
Whew....thank goodness we survived.
Also, I should note that I have never actually smelled Leslie and she is smelling nice and sweet like a teenage boy this morning (Old Spice "Ocean Splash").
We are off to get some fishing licenses and gear and drive through some gnarly redwoods down to Eureka!.

Smelly Sis
SOMEbody has run out of their prescription-strength deodorant today....although she says she is trying very very hard not to be smelly...especially the armpit that produces, quote, "80 % of the odor". Don't worry, tomorrow we will stop somewhere to get smelly sis some manly deodorant.
GrrrrEat. Thank you. She also has a quote for the evening "I hate Elizabeth"
go figure. she is grumpy sis too. what happened to the "angry bunny" that I loved so much? Apparently anger brings out smelly armpits.
Through Rain, Sleet and Snow!
Well, today started with the fire alarm sounding... around midnight. Luckily, Will had time to
read the entire guest services binder yesterday so he knew that because it only sounded once, it was a false alarm. We went back to sleep until 7 when we woke up and it was SNOWING!
We packed up, checked out, then were on our way down the mountain in the snow. Once again, we were lucky for having the Subaru which handled well on the snow covered curvy downhill. We decided to stop at natural bridges, excited about FINALLY getting to go hiking and do something active. Unfortunately, it was closed too. 
Well, since we couldn't go hiking, we are stopping at the Rogue Creamery to eat
Well, since we couldn't go hiking, we are stopping at the Rogue Creamery to eat instead.
When we got inside the Rouge Creamery, the tour had just started. It wasn't really a tour per sé but more of a picture sideshow with commentary. This was not a problem due to the free sample of many of the cheeses. The Rouge Creamery makes three different kinds of cheeses; blue, cheddar and curds. I

t was very interesting to learn about the cheese making process. We were so impressed by "tour" that we ended up decided to take home our very own samples.
From Cheese we went to dessert. directly next door was a phenomenal chocolate confectionery
called Lillie Belle. All of the people that had joined us for the cheese tour had also decided to partake in the free samples next door. We sampled the chipotle ganache, blue cheese truffle, chocolate covered almonds, and the honey pot truffle topped with bee pollen. They were all delicious and beautiful like Leslie.
One thing that we have noticed that is peculiar about Oregon, is that every single gas station is full service, in that it is illegal to pump your own gas. This seemed very strange to us as we did not grow up in New Jersey either. All of the pump attendants were very nice and polite.
For lunch we decided to eat in historic Jacksonville. It was a very nice and cute small town. After much arguing, Leslie finally decided on La fiesta, also considering that young William was not allowed in any of her other choices. For some

reason, we were the only people eating mexican food there at 11:30 AM. La Fiesta was tasty and after eating, we went to the coffee shop across the street called GoodBean Coffee. It was tasty and a nice cozy coffee shop, where we rested for a few minutes there before heading off to Smith River.
Now we are on the road to Smith River where we might hike today. We will add photos as they become available (They take forever to upload.)
School Kids Suck
Even though this was uploaded on Friday, we typed the post like good kids on Thursday evening but had no internet.
Yesterday (wed) evening we received a call from the rafting company that told us that some school kids skrewed us out of our places on the rafting trip today (thurs) and would we like to go a different day (um no). So they gave us numbers of other rafting companies that we should try. Since our original rafting company did NOT have the courtesy to call us before 12 hours before the trip (you'd think that the school trip was planned in advance of this..) the other rafting companies were closed for the evening. We left messages but by 10am this morning they had all called to say they were booked solid for the day anyways.

luckily, we had back up plans....

Not discouraged, we decided to just head up to crater lake. After all, the Oregon visitors center had a list of all these super cool hikes we could do. During the drive, we organized our thoughts about which ones we should do first and which we should save for the following morning.
The drive up was beautiful - we stopped at the Rogue River Gorge.... which was apparently formed by collapsed lava tubes. The Rogue River is also a nice turquoise color....we were a bit sad that we wouldn't be spending the day on it paddling. oh well.
After we blazed through some snow storms (and some beautiful forests and mountains and rivers) we saw the turn off for crater lake. Then we realized that it was a bit snow-covered. Leslie insisted it was the right way. so since we were lucky enough to pawn off the PT Cruiser and get a Subaru - we decided to brave the 10 foot snow drifts in the road and get a work-out at the same time. We had no shovels - but shoes work fine in a pinch.
After our 90 mile detour (not an exageration at all) to the North Crater Lake Entrance, we arrived safely at the park entrance and were greeted by the AM Radio station for crater lake proclaiming that there was no lodging or hiking trails available in the park at this time and all winter activities had also ceased for the season. great....
So we pulled up to the entry gate and they reassured us that the lodge was in fact open for the season...as of yesterday. phew. So we proceeded to the visitor center to watch a movie about

en the school kids again...blast). Instead we just shopped for pears and grapples (apples that taste like grapes). We also found out,
much to our dismay, that Harry and David was owned by a zillion dollar Japanese industry and not the quaint pear growers. Such is life.Harry and David shared a strip mall with the Oregon visitors center, where a nice old woman tried to sell us a map of all the covered bridges in Oregon that she thought we should be interested in for sure! After we respectfully declined her kind offer, we gathered various other helpful paraphernalia.

So we pulled up to the entry gate and they reassured us that the lodge was in fact open for the season...as of yesterday. phew. So we proceeded to the visitor center to watch a movie about
snow removal and some sort of story about finding crater lake. I am NOT sure it is the most efficient use of Federal monies to spend it on such extensive snow removal when it is open for like
a few weeks. not my choice I guess.
After seeing the visitor center I was reassured that people were not kidding when they said it would be very snowy (pict) and I'm wondering why the bike store we called didn't tell us we were crazy when we asked if we could mountain bike up here. um yeah.
So we got to the lodge and checked in and had a nice beer and lunch overlooking the caldera. then went for a really short hike...of ALL the
open trails...and some of the general snow fun ...hey, we made the be
st of what was
available for sure. LIke my snow angel? 
We decided to check out Rim Village just to make sure we were not missing anything...then while Will was shopping for embroidered sweatshirts with the crater lake logo, the power puttered and ceased to exist in any useful form.
ahhh...and then the fun started. Thank goodness we were with Leslie, the life of the party. She is SO much fun to be around.
we took a nap.
then we looked around.
then my phone died b/c there is not real service.
then we organized Leslies life goals.
then we ate sandwiches for dinner. expensive sandwiches. very expensive sandwiches....but they came with a smile.
then we organized Will's life goals.
Then we ate dessert...
then we went to bed....at 8pm. What else were we supposed to do?
AHA! and then...there was a flicker...the power! it turned on! and here I am writing.
Next up:
Rogue Creamery, wineries, Smith River, power, internet access.
NOTE: We will add pictures when they are uploaded

rock climbing
We woke up early, loaded the Subaru and checked out of the hotel. We stopped to get coffee and breakfast at a local internet cafe, then went to meet our guide for our rock climbing clinic.
We went to a nearby crag where we spend the next seven hours learning how to rock climb. Climbing shoes = super uncomfortable. Especially the ones that are too small. The first thing that Brian (our guide) did was warn us about the poison oak and rattlesnakes. He taught us about the climbing gear and how to belay. Brian set us up a rope and we all climbed up a 5.6 path to start off. Then, we all did a 5.8 and Elizabeth and Will also did a 5.7. Elizabeth tried a 5.9 overhang, and got past the overhang part! (very impressive) Then we all went up the the top and rappelled down.
A few minutes after we got on the freeway, Elizabeth saw a sign for Harry and David. We got off at the next exit, for Yreka. Unfortunately Harry and David is actually in Medford, Oregon...many exits away and a different state. Maybe we will get to go on a tour and get free chocolate! Yreka was a pretty fun looking town nonetheless.......at least cute looking!
We drove over the Siskiyou summit which is the highest point on I - 5. BEAUTIFUL. I love the Cascades...so much cooler than Sierras or whatsevers.
When We got to Ashland we checked into our very nice LCD TV adorned Best Western hotel room and went out to dinner at the Standing Stone Brewery which was very cool. Leslie would like to add that she Loves Liquid Assets, a local wine bar in Ashland. Therefore she is unable to actually complete this post/upload pictures/make it funny. Instead, she has passed out in bed at 9:30pm.
Oh, our rafting outfitters for tomorrow decided they would rather take une bande de chameaux (school kids) rafting on the Rogue rather than us...therefore, if other guides that we called don't call back we are instead going to join the Ashland Shakespeare Festival thing and be professional playas.
Time for South Park on the nice LCD tv. For some reason this is waking leslie up.
Next up tomorrow....WHO KNOWS!!!!!

A tough day on the job....
So we got to Mt Shasta City right on the dot at 2pm (as predicted). It is a cute litt
le town nestled in-between the base of Mt Shasta and I-5. Some things that we passed on our way here that we didn't blog about before:
Lake Shasta - the way the clay is exposed it looked like it needed
about 40 more feet of water to be at regular level - but then there were a bunch of structures there on the clay that looked at least semi-permanent.
and was glacier-cut granite...somewhere to coCastle Crags State
Park - the spires that we passed were BEAUTIFUL. A dude in town said that it was like a mini Yosemitem
e back and check out for sure.
We checked into our motel and walked back in to town where we sampled the best water in the world from the downtown water fountain and rented the rock climbing gear we needed. Unfortunately SOMEbody had super large feet so he had to buy some rock climbing shoes
from another store....it was a relief that he was able to find some that fit decently or we would have been out of an activity for the day!
So...now for the adventurous part of our day. We decided to try and h
ike up Black Butte which would offer us good views of shasta, with not quite as much snow (apparently the approach hike to the mountain is pretttty snowy) as some other day hikes. After the directions at our motel turned out to be totally bogus we decided to go to the forestry service office downtown to get real directions. They had a really nice printed guide of how to get there waiting for us whi
ch we tried to follow...but apparently we got a little too excited about one of the turns and went left about 0.4 miles too soon. This gave us a rolling adventure off the road around fallen trees and some interesting noises and bumps along the way. We couldn't always tell which way the road was either....thank goodness we rented a Subaru....but too bad it didn't have a brush guard!!! . Despite how ridiculous this "road" was we kept pushing on b/c the Forestry Service lady had explicitly said "it may feel as though you have been going forever and you missed the turn....but don't give up".
Finally we determined we were lost but found a tree with a number on it....luckily the nice lady
at the Forest Service answered the phone but unfortunately she knew nothing about this said "numbered tree" that we thought was going to be our saving grace. Instead, we took a chance on a "side road" that looked much nicer than our "main road" (i.e. we didn't rip paint off as we drove and leslie wasn't biting her lip quite as much). We finally found the trail head...although a lot later than we anticipated.
The views and the hike were all worth it though...amazing! We
even got to have a snowball fight!!! Unfortunately time (sunset was approaching) and a large snow field on a steep slope prevented us from topping out. The boulders were quite impressive and basically it was a nice spiraling upward rock scramble with increased difficulty interspersed with
shiny snowfields. The views of Mount Shasta were great...and the interstate and the UP railroad too. We managed
to find our way back through what were strangley nice (compared to our trip in the other direction) roads...even if they were a bit steep . Again - thank goodness we rented the Subaru, as the Forestry service explicitly does not recommend the use of minivans or trailers on these roads.
After our adventure we were ready for a quick bite and then to bed....the fish tacos and local beer at the tavern were just what we needed.
Up tomorrow: intro to rock climbing and then up to Ashland, OR

Guns Booze and Birds
We just left San Fran and we are driving north. Before we left we stopped at Martha and bros., a coffee place in my neighborhood. We went on the "Earthquake" bridge f
or Leslie and she held her feet up the whole time to prevent an earthquake. due to Leslie's heroism we were all saved!!!! be sure to thank her. We tried to get a view of the bay but the ever-present fog made this impossible. as we passed through Oakland and Berkley we stopped at a casino and blew a few Gs (j to the k-lo).I was happy that as i was driving that I did not have to go to work as we passed the ask.com building.
we tried to grab some chips and run but....
we ditched the cop in the nice green field so then we went and headed for the chemical plant where we relaxed for a while and had a picnic and filled up our water bottles. mmmm
yummy!so then we decided that we hadent eaten enough so we went to the only chick-fil-a in northern California. It was in a mall across from Hot dogs on a stick (a much better one than t
he mall me and will stopped at last summer.) 
Leslie was in a hurry to pack so we stopped and picked out some shoes for her job interview.
Ok well I gotta get back to driving now, we were going to stop at the sierra Nevada brewery, but we a re sure to see many more brewery's in the coming days. I'm so glad i learned to touch type and tha tmy laptop has a camera.
currently we are 80 miles south of redding and it is a blazing 67 degrees Leslie is unsure if she can take the California heat
FYI if we don't log in for a while it is just because we passed a billboard for a guided goose hunt, don't worry we will take lots of pictures!!!!!! but first we will go to the brewery....
