So we arrived in a mid-sized coastal California city around 2am Friday. We
stayed in a spacious cozy place that seemed very lived in and familiar. We
were greeted by 2 cats, and chickens and a rooster and several fish. I
think we are going to stay here for a long while.
We decided to drive about 500 miles from the Oregon border to get here
around 2pm on Thrusday. We were around Brookings, Oregon that morning and
afternoon and decided to go on the same hike that we went on when we passed
through Oregon the first time (about 2 weeks ago). We had found a few
chanterelles and we wanted to check the spots we found again. We came upon
those spots and found a bunch, then looked around and found more and more!
We had come upon a huge vein of chanterelles. We were picking and mushrooms
for over an hour straight. We tied up the sleeve of a flannel and filled up
the sleeve with chanterelles, as well as a paper bag. It was really really
amazing. A field of chanterelles is a mushroom picker's dream and we found
one!
I think we wanted to leave Oregon on a high note so we left and started
driving South. We ended up in Willits, Ca around sundown, and had really bad
pizza. We were going to stay in Willits so we checked out their RV park. It
was very frightening. It looked like everyone there was actually cooking
meth in their RVs and had been there a good long while. We saw lots of heaps
of garbage and such and decided that we didn't want to stay there. We
continued driving and then found ourselves halfway home, so we decided to
just drive all the way.

So we got home and we slept and unpacked and now we are back into real life
again. We now have to get rid of our rooster, because our neighbor (who was
really nice about it) asked us to.. So if anyone wants a rooster, let us
know! He's nice as far as roosters are and he is really beautiful but for
whatever reason, he likes to wake up at maybe 4ish..
But on a positive chicken note, we got our first egg today! I had a dream
that our chickens laid eggs, and so this morning we went out to check and
there was a beautiful little egg! And a cute little chicken named Sir
Galahad laid it! Go Chickens!

So, I guess that concludes our exciting trip! I think it's safe to say that
we love each other even more, although we were both confined in a small rv
for 3 weeks with breakdowns and towings and rental cars and seat belt
snacking and hikes and yummy dinners on the beach at sunset and long walks
on the spits and beaches and forests and finding lots of mushrooms and
seeing lots of beautiful things and SO much more!!
