On my first road trip to nowhere in several years.

No particular place to go, no particular time to get there, no particular time to go home.

Left Coos Bay OR Monday and spent the night in Crescent City CA.

Yesterday's plan was to go another day south before thinking of going home.

After seeing the Redwoods decided to head east towards Mt Shasta.

Got to a nice lodge just before dark.

Booked tonight too so I can relax lodge style.

I brought a bag of gear and a basket of dongles

The lodge has good bandwidth

A group of friends is going to VC in our family Rumpus server on Discord and group stream from the Plex server of the #MovieMaster

Our small group has people in Olympia WA, Santa Fe NM and two in Japan, I'm, on the road

IN CALIFORNIA! Haven't been south of the Oregon border in 20 years

Will pass through Weed CA on my way north, but probably not stop for souvenirs

When I woke up this morning about 12 hours ago in the lodge room I put the Streaming TV on old Tom and Jerry Looney Tunes (TuBi)

Still hearing slide whistles, random bonks and boings

Good background chatter, unless an anvil drops on yer head

Ended up staying 3 days at the lodge near Mt Shasta

Only drove a few hours today and found a cabin in the snowy woods on Fish Lake

I will decide tomorrow where I want to go, or maybe stay here for a while

I was going to light a fire, but still snowing and Breezy out there, the gas fire next to the covered porch is fine for now

Went over to lounge/Cafe office and they said they just posted stay 1 night get 2nd free

Going back for some non hotel room microwave food for dinner and sign up

Probably do an out and back to Crater Lake if the roads are open

Still snowing here

#RecentlyRetired

The quiet is nice too

I have been chatting with IRL friends about my trip

No wifi but decent cell service in the woods

One bump in the night might have been a Bigfeets, but I will update as necessary

#RecentlyRetired

Might become a Snow Gnome

Please #AltTextForMe

It was nice having non hotel microwave food tonight

Picnic food only goes so far

Saturday is Prime Rib night

House should be busier than tonight

Might get to see Wizzard Island tomorrow, snow road conditions pending

Beautiful day after yesterday's snow storm, will be staying around the cabin for the day enjoying the quiet and the view

Tonight's special at the lodge is prime rib!

Ate an edible, classical music in the background and all of you are a great way to spend the day

I guess the ice fisherman caught some in the first few minutes

Somebody is going for a ride! The person is bundling up a little dog for the ride

A kid was just setting up Seafarers as I left the lodge
