Here we go again

2016, we are off to the USA again. Not going to continue driving route 50, but will focus on the North West. We aim to continue north of San Francisco and complete route 1 which ends just after Fort Bragg. We intend travelling as far north as Olympia (Washington State), before heading East to Yellowstone National Park. Where possible will travel the back roads or byways where possible. 

From Yellowstone we head south to Idaho with the idea to re-visit Buhl and Twin Falls,Idaho. We lived in Buhl for around 4 months in 1980. We hope to find the small flat we lived in again.

Now we head West to join Highway 50 at Fallon, Nevada. Will spend a night in Carson City before heading to Yosemite National Park. Finally, we will re-visit Stan and June in Diamond Springs. Just in time to spend Election Day/night with them. I must admit this along with celebrating Halloween in West Yellowstone look to be the main highlights of this trip. Just may have to buy a bottle of vino to either celebrate a Clinton Victory or drown our friends sorrows.

Really looking forward to being "on the road again".

Drove over to Wellington in the afternoon, checked into the Brentwood Hotel in Kilbernie. The hotel is somewhat dated, but very comfortable. for the price would recommend it. It offers a 24 hour airport shuttle service.

In the evening meet up with the boys and their partners and had a late supper/dinner at "Mexico". Good selection of dishes and very authentic.

Tomorrow we begin the long flight to San Francisco (by American Airlines Dream liner), looking forward to that experience, not the 12 hours flight time.

So begins the USA farewell tour (part 2), the North West section.
