Arizona is very hot in August,
so I thought why not visit James and Beka in CA!
I drove over to LA on August 25th...7 hours door to door!
I was planning to stay just for a short visit.
Beka was driving for Uber at the time.
On the 27th she called me while she was working,
saying she had gotten in an accident!
saying she had gotten in an accident!
Long story, but we got her car into a shop - covered by Uber's insurance.
They said it would be 2 weeks...3 max!
So we decided to take a road trip to Northern California
and visit Uncle Tom in Ferndale!
We were gone for 9 days from 9/4-12th!
We picnic'd along the way...
Driving Hwy 5 north to Pleasanton for the first night.
The next day we drove into the Bay Area...
saw my ole stomping grounds: San Leandro & Alameda!
We had our picnic on Alameda beach and relaxed!
We spent that night in North Vallejo, so we could spend
some time in Wine Country and do some wine tasting!
The next day we drove 101 North to Ferndale through beautiful country!
We had a great time with Uncle Tom...
visiting the ocean near his house, walking on the beach,
Walking around Ferndale! Relaxing and Fun!
We went to The Avenue of the Giants...spent time
exploring in the beautiful Redwoods!
Thinking the car would be done soon, we took off and
drove the 101 all the way home to LA...
over the Golden Gate Bridge and through San Francisco!
We spent night in Salinas CA - 1/2 way to LA...
then drove home on PCH for a bit and enjoyed the coast!
When we got back to LA we checked on the car! It was
going to be another 2+ weeks! They said there was an
insurance hold up! So now what???
I had a birthday while there...came home from a walk to this!
Since we had time on our hands...
we figured we'd see the sights around LA!
Here's a list...with pics of some!

Beka's time in LA was ending!
Her car was finally done on October 7th!
So we packed her up and we both drove home on the 8th!
This trip alone I drove over 3300 miles!!!
I REALLY saw California this time!!!
