Captain’s Log August 22, 2009
“Leaving only 8 hours behind schedule. Hopefully there’s an In-N-Out outside the city… Or I would take a Sonic as well so we could stay in the car”
-Captain Igor “Stumpy” Belagorudsky
“Take on me…. Take on me…. Take me on… Take on me… I’ll be gone… In a day or twooooooooooooo”
-Copilot Tracey “Boat-foot” Callahan
Day one started late but strong. We were not able to get everything in the car as Igor’s I have a dream speech stated. Last night our friend Jeff tried to bet us that we would be out of San Francisco after 12… good thing we didn’t take that bet! We shipped some boxes pretty inexpensively and everyone fit in the car. We drove for about 6 hours today. Destination was Oregon to visit D but it didn’t happen. We found a really cool place where you could drive thru a tree. Pics are pretty cool. We made it to Eureka and decided to find a place to stay. Eureka rivals Philly for least favorite city in the US. We found a cheap place to stay and snuck the kitten in. Then some lady, who I believe called this motel home, narc’ed on him yelling to the owner “Uh-uh… there are no pet here nice try. HEY! He’s got a dog.” We managed to find the one motel in the city where the patrons are unable to distinguish cats from dogs. Ig and I used Yelp and found a nice pub to eat at called Lost Coast. A pub with a cool menu and cheap, micro brewed beer. Getting ready to turn in and enjoy the scratchy sheets. Dead bolt…. Check! Tomorrow… Redwood Forest and D’s place.
