That Grand Canyon...wooo...
Little book stores, big trees, great pizza, creepy dancing, amazing tree houses.
And we're off to the last state before our final destination.... California here we come!
Did some camping and hanging out on the beach, where the water was numbing, painfully cold...sad...then started the drive up thru Santa Barbara and up route 1. All the way thru Big Sur and Monterrey.
First little detour, Elephant Seals! The beach was covered with them... when we pulled off, the little squirrel in the picture immediately jumped up into the grill of the car. Why? you might ask... Let's recap... Jack Rabbits.. they are everywhere. Freaky looking creatures..in that cute hoppy kind of way.. well, they aren't that smart.. for some reason, on the drive to Havasupai, the bunnies on that road must have been having a bad day, because one proceeded to throw itself in front of the car, rabbit suicide at its peak. There was simply nothing I could do except laugh and be sad at the same time. Liz insisted I was a horrible person for killing the bunny with the car, and I kept explaining that it just came out of nowhere and there was nothing I could do! Whatever...silly bunny... I do feel bad. ANYHOW...next day, Liz's turn to drive out of Havasupai... oh look! ahhhhh suicide bunny again! Once again it thru itself at the car, and died. Not our fault once again... I proceeded to laugh hysterically at this odd turn of events, while she felt sad for quite a while. Anyhow, Mr. Squirrel found a lot of bunny meat in the grill of the car, and refused to get out until I turned the car on to scare it. Hahahhaha.
After that stop we continued on towards Big Sur....interesting little community.
Yes, the white mountains meet Zion and it is called Yosemite.
After Yosemite we headed to San Francisco and then drove up the coast, thru the redwoods, into Redding to see Mike and Tracey and then on to BEND... final destination...
That was all a month ago...yes late post. Been rocking it in Bend...maybe sooner then later we will post a Bend blog. Yes, after two weeks I knew..that I could live out of my car and roadtrip forever.

Hello bunny KILLERS! I'm sure that squirrel had quite a feast! Yosemite looks great! I love the waterfalls and the rapids! Now you need to post some Bend pics and the apartment.
Goodness so many demands mamma Messerman :)....I will see what I can do.....my mom has been bugging me too...
Yes, get with it! Mothers like to see where their daughters are living!! :)
WOW! You finally posted the trip thru Cali! I was wondering if you had really gone there, lol.
Anyway, I love the pics of Yosemite, especially the picture of the stream falling off the edge, that is a beautiful place. The pictures of the coast are nice too, got some nice clean waves in the back of one of them, too bad you need a wetsuit to go surfing :(
The story about the jack rabbits is great, but you should have taken the squirrel with you, add another member to your rag-tag posse!
