Road Trip Up North --- Picturesque

GG Bridge --- Leaving SF.

1st Major Point --- Avenue of the Giants, the majestic Redwoods (about 32 miles).

Our voiture went through this tree --- massive!

My silly "lil" brother, Rej.
We tried to stop him but to no avail; he wanted to go up there.

Nature is amazing.
I am always in awe of it.

Wading to cool off.
I heart rivers. Saw tons of it on the way up.

One of my favorite cars --- 1950s truck model.
Saw this in this little town called Miranda.
Someday, I'd like to buy one and spruce it up (i first fell in love with it when i saw Aidan driving a beautiful green one, from one of the SITC episodes).

We drove, via Highway 101, North. It's by the coast.
The views are striking, yet calming.

We are nearing the California/Oregon border.

Oregon.

The drive to Crater Lake, Oregon.

Crater Lake --- "Mount Mazama collapsed a large caldera, which was later filled w/ Crater Lake." (Wiki)

And... my beautiful Family =)))

We were there until the 4th.
Saw the towns (Ashland, Oregon; where we ended up) 4th of July parade.
I love small town gatherings.
It has more charming characteristics, than big cities.
