Our trip has begun ladies and gentlemen!
Day 1's estimated game plan was: Meadow Vista, California to Roseburg, Oregon- 422 miles
We traveled 460 miles.
Left at 8:30am
Stopped for gas/lunch/sight-seeing in Mount Shasta, CA at 12:45
We were on the I-5 for what felt like forever!!
I had to make one morning bathroom stop, but we had no traffic and the journey was peaceful and scenic. We have gotten speeding tickets on out-of-state road trips before, so we both pledged to actually drive the speed limit today!
Mount Shasta is beautiful! You could start seeing it about an hour before you got there, plus the county limits are quite large, so you're in "Shasta" for a while! The real stop in in Mount Shasta City.
I was playing on my phone a lot-roadtripss have become much different then the olden days, but started reading up on Shasta, the Mountain, City and Headwaters of the Sacramento River.
I can up with a lot of uber spiritual blogs about Mt Shasta being the first chakra of the earth and the Mountain calls people to its presence. There was also hubbub about the waters of the Sacramento River providing vitality and spiritual guidance. So, we stopped for a visit!
We went through our usual road trip stops: potty break & gas filling (most expensive yet @3.79)
But we had a great time in Mount Shasta!
The visit was one of iPhone photography, sandwich eating by the river, hippie sighting x11
& drinking of the magical water from the loins of the earth...
yum, yum
forget about noticing the strangers bum-crack and me drinking out of a potentially hazardous river. It was 2 days ago and I am a-o-k! The water was actually delicious: cold and refreshing!
Stopping in Mt. Shasta was only about a 15-30 minute detour from your trip so if you are traveling up/down the I-5 in Northern California, I'd recommend a stop! After my drink of water, I'm basically a genius AND feel all my chakras aligned with the earth's!
The rest our our Roadtrip is gunna be AWESOME!!!
2,845 miles Roadtrip!!!
