Day two of the Bub Tour 2008.
Yesterday we drove from Seattle all the way to Yreka California, just south of the California border. Not much to report. Other than being the most ridiculously big american gas guzzler, the Commander was pretty comfortable (and the stereo sounded superb).
After a good night's sleep we left our Super 8 motel room and made our way toward San Francisco. We arrived in Marin (just outside San Fran) at around 7 and set up camp.
Some late night chess after a Hong Kong style dinner near the red light district.
Segways...?
Tomorrow we set out for Yosemite.

Yosemite Falls
2500' of waterfall goodness.
The Grizzly Giant
The tree in the picture is almost 30 feet wide. The big branch on the left side is over 7 feet in diameter.
Darin, Deer, Dad
The deer was on sale for $5000. No Joke.
Kern River
5000 ft.
A Nice Cow
This guy was right on the side of the road. We liked him.

We didn't take a whole lot of picture these past few days, but lots of fun events took place.
Hermosa Beach
Hotel Balcony view
We found a killer Vegan restaurant called The Spot near our hotel in Hermosa Beach. They've been there for over 30 years and they really know their stuff. Highly recommended. www.worldfamousspot.com
Darin found a way to turn the alarm clock into a bass amp.
We spent our last day of the Bub Tour 2008 at Six Flags: Magic Mountain. My personal favorite ride was the X2, which was indescribably insane. The seats spin 360 degrees, which made for a very disorienting (and totally awesome) ride!
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of pictures from the last few days, but we did shoot a lot of video. I'll try to post some of that when I get around to it. All in all it was a fantastic trip! Hopefully we'll do it again in the not-too-distant future.
