The Dolphin has officially made it out of Seattle on to the open road…After packing up the camper with the bikes, camping gear and a whole lot of other miscellaneous things; I took off on Highway 101 via I-5 around 11:30pm Thursday evening. Drove for about 5 hours on the road (max speed: 55 mph), and made it to Wilapa State Park. Pulled off and slept for a bit; resumed driving at 8:30am. Starting the day with a little coffee recharge in Seaside, the drive went smoothly through to the coast. The day started with a little rain, but burned off by 10, and for the rest of the day it was the nicest weather I have ever seen on the coast.
During the course of the trip, I learned a couple quirky things about the camper: 1) There is a small vent which shoots extremely hot air onto your gas pedal foot, 2) fuses periodically blow for no reason, resulting in getting stopped by cops for having no tail lights, and 3) the heater is apparently always on.
…now in San Francisco, enjoying a cup of coffee with my Mom. Tomorrow is another long day of driving, en route to southern California, where the camper will wait until Robin and I return in a month to go on more adventures in it. Stay tuned for more adventures…
