Wednesday, September 18th
So we are off on a road trip to Depoe Bay where we will stay 16 nights in our usual condo. We left this morning. Short post. The major accomplishment was driving from our house to the hotel in Bakersfield, California, our first night stopover, without ever touching a major highway. No interstates. Mostly on roads with one lane in each direction. Amazing sight of the day: a deserted gas station on Rte 62 in California festooned with old shoes. No traffic until we got near Bakersfield where we encountered a turnover accident and then lots of road construction in Bakersfield. We are staying at a Marriott Springhill Suites using Marriott points. Dinner was at Nuestro Mexico, a hidden gem in Bakersfield. Who would have expected superb seafood here: Scrumptious ceviche for an appetizer (we shared). we both had Mariscos (shrimp, scallops, and fish) for our mains – mine with chile verde, Ealine’s with poblanos. Wonderful. Come to Bakersfield and try it. Tomorrow we are on to Redding, CA.

Safe travels. Sounds like a great back road trip. Cindy
Yay. A road trip. That shoe memorial looks interesting, as does Muck Rock!
As usual, food looks scrumptious. Have a safe trip. Looking forward to the blog.
