  1. Kahului, Maui, Hawaii (Saturday, Jan. 9)
  2. Tacoma, Wash.
  3. Tacoma, Wash.
  4. Norman, Okla.
  5. Norman, Okla.
  6. Tacoma, Wash.
  7. Grants Pass, Ore.
  8. Rancho San Diego, Calif.

It’s something like 9,000 miles or so traveled over that time via plane and automobile, fwiw. And since the new blog theme all but requires photos, here’s one I took with my cell phone while driving past Mt. Shasta yesterday:

Mt. Shasta and I-5.

Hopefully photography-while-driving is not against the law in California.

As far as interstate driving goes, I think the stretch from about Grant’s Pass to Redding on I-5 is about the most scenic I’ve ever driven. Can’t think of another one that’s comparable. The H3 on Oahu, I-90 across Snoqualmie, I-15 through the Virgin River Gorge in Arizona, I-89 in Vermont, and I-80 in central Pennsylvania are the first challengers that come to mind, but at the end of the day I don’t think any of them are in the same league. IMHO, I guess.
