Kate here...

We're winding down our last week here with my Mom in Honeydew. This past Saturday evening, we finished our 4 day/3 night backpacking trip down the Lost Coast. The weather was perfect, we barely saw anyone, and (aside from a couple of blisters and some sore muscles) managed to trudge our way down the coast with no problems or injuries. We saw an otter, lots of sea lions, and no bears. But when we got back to my Mom's house, a bear had broken into the horse barn twice going after grain with molasses. If it isn't a skunk in the house, or racoon in the catfood, or a bear in the grain, it is something else out here in the sticks. I miss it.

There are lots of pictures. Really good ones. We're WAY behind with the pictures, but we'll be driving "into town" tomorrow to see Carlala's new house, catch a movie, change the oil in the car, and find some highspeed wireless to upload our photographic booty.

Yesterday we had a great time grilling for friends and neighbors at my Mom's house and recovering from our aches and pains.

Thursday we will depart to visit my friend Andie in Chico for a couple of days, then we're off to Oregon.

Happy Summer!

The Epic Road Trippers
We're Shay and Kate, a couple of 31 year old grrls who live in Atlanta, GA and who are very much in love with each other, travel, and the great outdoors. As of June 12th, 2006, we, our two dogs (Emma and Bela), and our Subaru (packed with all the gear it can carry) are embarking on an epic 10 week road trip around the US. We'll be camping, hiking, backpacking, exploring, and visiting with family and friends. We'll be covering 24 states and over 8000 miles on our journey, so there will be plenty of time to blog away from the passenger seat. Here is a link to a [url=http://www.travelblog... full info
