Posse Ride Day 6: Redding to Bend (Nope)

I left Medford at 0430 hoping to see no deer, elk, etc., and I didn't 👍.

Another day of collecting photos. I was so looking forward to hitting the coast and driving up US-101. It's such a beautiful drive. Meandering into the cool evergreens then emerging into the sunlight. Winding along cliff faces overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, all I got to see this time were tail lights 😒. RVs barely going 30 mph when they weren't completely stopped trying to back in somewhere 🤦. Googly eyed tourists walking out into the street without looking 🤦. It was a nightmare.

Then I got to turn inland to grab a photo, and I was happy to be able to take a different route north...until I saw the "Road Closed" sign. I had to go about 20 miles back south to the 101 again. It was bumper to bumper for about 2 hours 😞.

I finally made it into Portland then out of Portland and into Washington where I ate halibut at Freddy's Just For the Halibut 🤣. Yummy.

Now that I've dipped into Washington, I only have Montana and North Dakota left to say I've been in all of the Lower 48 this year 👍. And I'll be in both of those when I get back on this Posse Ride rally tomorrow after my service in the morning at Volcano HD, which is also where I'm sleeping tonight 👍. Winning!

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
