We took interstate 5 south to Grants Pass where we picked up 199 down to the coast. We couldn't remember ever having taken that route before. Grants Pass's downtown looked like a happening place and the route to the coast was really pretty. The Smith River area is stunning and the Redwoods through there hugely awesome! The trees were enormous and we didn't have to take a side route to see them.
Along the way we started seeing "road apples" in the road and a couple miles on down the road we saw why. We don't know this guys story, but it was an interesting setup. Th
e sky washed it out, but there was smoke spiraling out of the stove pipe. Larry would have loved to jump aboard and find out if the guy lived in the wagon or was just heading for a weekend event. We couldn't really stop him as he was on the highway, we stopped in a little pullout so we could get pictures.

It was a nice warm day and the ocean was even being lazy and relaxed. Very seldom have I ever seen the ocean so calm...it was like it was all it could do to actually break a wave they were rolling in so gently!
We finally got to Ukiah...Andrea's place at 5:30. It was a long drive and taking 5 all the way down and 20 over like we usually do would definitely have been quicker, but we are glad we took the scenic route...it was just slower and windier.
