A Quiet Corner Of The Loudest State

K Falls Morning


 
Started the morning in Klamath Falls and ended the day in Reno. From Klamath to the California border is 25 miles, and from Reno to the border is 20 miles, leaving a little over 200 miles of the quietest part of California to drive through. Most of the “towns” you pass through on this route have just double-digit populations. The largest town on the drive is Susanville, with a population of 12,000, but on the route I took I never went through it.

Change Of Plans

I was supposed to fly from Portland to Las Vegas on Tuesday morning, but with the government shutdown and its effect on air travel, I’m now driving to Las Vegas.

The Flying Pig

Tonight I’m in Klamath Falls at my usual spot, the Shilo Inn, a stone’s throw from my second favorite coffee shop, Brevada Brewhouse. Because it was 1:00pm when I got there, it felt weird to order a mixed smoothie bowl, something I’ve always gotten at breakfast, so I ordered a sandwich instead. I did order my usual medium caramel latte though; those are timeless.

Because tonight is the time change, before I left home I set all the clocks back an hour, so I wouldn’t have to worry about that when I get back.

Halloween, When Ghost Miatas Roam

Ghost Miata


 
I took this way back in 2005 in an empty shopping center parking lot. Next time I do it, I think it will come out better if I don’t have the headlights on.

Everyone Wanted To Go

All Aboard


 
For today’s walk, everyone wanted to go. Bonesy always sits up front, so roomie had to sit in the back. He was none too happy, but dogs rule, so he sucked it up. I’ll hear about it later.

Foggy Morning Walk

Foggy Morning Walk


 
Me and my roomie headed out for a walk this morning, and the fog was as thick as pea soup. He wussed out, something about being scared, so I left him in the car listening to reggae while I went for 3 miles. It was actually quite peaceful, but I did keep a watchful eye on the woods.

Another Dull Day In The Life

Fall Morning Walk


The title says it all. Breakfast, get a latte, walk 3 miles, shop at Target, take a short random drive, start a new jigsaw puzzle, finish watching the 2nd season of Shrinking, watch the World Series, shower, bed.
