BACK from 14-day road trip

[Dan Druff]

I just returned from a 14-day, 1-way road trip from Los Angeles to Seattle.

That's the reason for my absence from the forum and radio show (though I was checking the forum every day to make sure things were going okay, and had the ability to correct any issues).

That's also some of the reason the forum has been slow recently, because I usually try to generate discussion topics around here, and I wasn't able to do that for the past 2-3 weeks.

Anyway, I'll be active again, and the radio show will return on Tuesday as normal.

Here are the places I went:

Carmel, CA
San Francisco, CA
Glass Beach (Fort Bragg, CA)
Redwood National Park (extreme north CA)
Oregon Caves (southwest Oregon)
Newberry Volcanic Monument (near Bend, OR)
Portland, OR
Mt. St. Helens (central Washington)
Mt. Ranier (central Washington)
Olympic National Park (northwest Washington)
Seatttle, WA

Flew back last night from Seattle to Los Angeles.

Rented a 1-way car which enabled this (otherwise my car would be stuck in Seattle right now!)

Stayed in 11 hotels total.

Weather was excellent until the final day (yesterday), when we ran into heavy rain in Seattle.

Surprisingly little fail for first 11 days of the trip (pretty much everything went as expected, which is shocking if you are road tripping for 11 days), but then some fail finally occurred at the end (but nothing horrible).

May or may not post pictures, depending upon if I feel like uploading them. Took the family on this trip. Benjamin enjoyed it a lot.

Feel free to ask me questions about any of the above places.

Some things I learned on this trip:

- The remaining glass on Glass Beach is on the "hidden" beaches further down past where they direct you to go

- The best time of day to visit Mt. Rainier (in the summer) is the early evening

- If you want to see Redwood National Park properly, you need to stay south of the park the night beforehand

- People in Seattle seem surprisingly aggressive, on par with NYC

- Downtown Portland is full of young douchebags on the weekend, but people aren't aggressive like they are in Seattle

Welcum back n-word

Did you miss us or radio more?

[Dan Druff]

Radio. Because I still read much of this forum when I was on the shitter, so I don't feel like I was away from any of you assholes.

[Pooh]

You've been travelling a lot in the past couple years. Have you been to a place where you would consider living and be happy about it?

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

1) ok so how many of your other accounts posted via shitter?

2) Your site seeing game is turned up to One Hunnid!

3) How were the Seattleites agressive. Driving, walking, trying to sell you shit????

downtown Portland on the weekends is not a very good representation of Portland.

Sounds like you had a good time Druff.

I'm also very surprised that not even one cheap jew story was provided in the trip report.

he saved money on razors and shave accessories, if that counts.

druff, you seem to have hit a bunch of national parks over the years? In general, which were the favorites and which are worth passing on?

[FPS_Russia]

I wonder how many bed bugs you fed during your 11 nights o hotel sleep. Druff do you inspect for bed bugs? If your not allergic to them and you don't bring them home it's not a big deal.

I know pretty much every Las Vegas hotel has had them at some point. I have a friend who runs a apartment complex in vegas, exterminator says they're rampant in hotels.

Exterminators cost a couple hundred and the apartments/rooms require alot of work before the exterminator will treat the room. That being said, many hotels just use a couple $6 bug bombs that sends them fleeing inside the walls. They're around.
