California again, 2013

[ssicarman]

Finally getting around to posting this years trip.

I went to the same general area this trip that I did last year. Tried not to do the same roads and stops all of the way but some of the same can't be helped to get from here to there. Some of the same is done because it is worth seeing again or seeing different things in the area.

I left Calgary November 10 and returned November 20. Headed home a bit early this year to try and avoid some nasty winter storms due to go through northern Idaho and southern Montana where I would have to drive through to get back. I managed to make it through the beginning edges of it. What I caught made me glad that I left early.

First set of photos are for our world traveller XCovlov70. A bunch of North American RV's. No particular order, just taken through out the trip.

WOW! You certainly have some 'Toads' crawling along the roads over there!

We get the odd '5th Wheel Hitch' as they call them on this side of the 'Pond' but as they are quite LARGE you have to be careful which roads you travel down otherwise you can get 'wedged' between the wall sides! [nonono][nonono]

[ssicarman]

Now for the trip.

Left home with the weather like this. Cold, snowy and it was considering turning into a blizzard.

WOW!
What a change going across a few lines of Latitude, but very nice pictures, while I guess you needed to sets of clothes in the suitcase? (Winter & Spring).

I would think that the XC still felt surefooted in the snowy bits?

I just wish that they had some of the nice wide roads/lanes over here in Morocco, it might just stop the regular 'smashing' of offside mirrors as two vehicles going in opposite directions pass each other!

The guy we spoke to in Tagazhoute reckons he sources between 40 & 50 replacements each year for unlucky RV owners! [nonono]

[ssicarman]

Driving style is certainly modified as the packed snow on the roads is nearly as traction less as ice is. Slower speeds and common sense rule the day.

Unlike over there the most of the roads here are designed to take semi's so the narrow roads are rare. That said there will be some shots that even your rig is not able/allowed to do.

[Da Tow'd]

great photos they make me feel like I'm in the passenger seat
cheers
hank

we are heading out tomorrow on a winter trip

[ssicarman]

Thanks

Hope your trip goes well. where are you off to?

[ssicarman]

Second day of the trip.
South from Ritzville through my disliked tri cities area of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland in southern WA. It went better this year with a different GPS and no construction detours. I did begin to wonder though as the GPS routed me through residential areas. In the end though it went well.
From the tri cities followed the Columbia river to Portland and south to Roseburg OR for the night. Roseburg is a favorite stopping point due to a very good Mexican place called Dos Amigos.

The last batch of pictures had the morning shots in Ritzville so onto the road pictures.

Road side stop to take in the view. Nearly got blown away by the wind, it was enough to rock the car a bit when parked. Take not of the white caps on the river.

[XCovlov70]

The 'History Lesson' on the board was very interesting. [thumbup]

Seems like you have a lot of very straight roads in that neck of the woods as well?

The Bridges seemed strange as one went 'UP & Over' the other seemed to go 'DOWN' but did it go Under? :cool:

Did you realise that 'Flickr' pulled a fast one and stuck 2 identical pictures in? (DSCF1386) [sly]

[ssicarman]

Sadly it was not Flickr that did the 1386 double. It is fixed now.

The bridges run beside each other and were built at different times. I think that this is what makes the area difficult to navigate. The highways have been built up over time and not with the same design.
The road south from Ritzville that is now a very good four lane divided was a two lane secondary highway when I first drove it. The area has grown economically and money has been put into the road system.

The straight roads may be an illusion on my part. Easier to take pictures on the straight bits. The last picture is south of Portland where the land is flat and the interstate likes to go straight. South end of Oregon has more hills/mountains.

[XCovlov70]

Really liked the pictures of the cloud in the valley, and the lighthouse.
Always been puzzled why to cool water it is sprayed into a cold pond causing loads of steam, whereas piping it into the cold water would immediately cool it down without causing all the water loss through creating all the steam?

[ssicarman]

All of the shots with cloud are actually shots of fog from the ocean. The last batch of pictures were all from Highway 1 that follows the coast. It went from driving through the fog to driving over it. The last two pictures above, where you see the cloud is fog covering the ocean. It seems to start dissipating once it hits land.
This year was very different weather than last year. A lot less rain coming down on me during the day, more sun shine :), but there was the fog from the ocean.


Not trying to be educational here but....:eek:

The cooling ponds are just that. The water in the ponds is as hot as the steam/vapour makes it look. High humidity and coolish temps help make it look like more. The process used to make plywood produces a lot of heat so water is used to keep things cool. So the ponds have a lot of heat in them and the water sprinklers spraying the water try to dump the heat in the air.
So it is not really cold water making the steam but hot water.

End lecture.

Those of you with trailers and RV's will need to leave them behind now. They will not make it all of the way and there are no turn arounds after the two mile one.

Right turn takes you to where the bridge over the river used to be. You want to keep straight.

The sign says RV's and trailers prohibited. The road looks better than it actually is.

Road off of the "main" road that went down steep and then some and around a few down corners, down some more to a nice parking lot with a few walks to ocean views.

Hi ssicarman!

Thanks for the info on the 'Heat Transfer Process'.

Those roads in the woods where RV's & Trailers are not allowed are not half as bad as the ones we get to go on nearly every day over here, along with Trucks (Semi's) Buses (Coaches) Cars, Camels & Donkeys not forgetting of course Pedestrians!

[ssicarman]

Just trying to keep things entertaining and educational. :)

Coming up to the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge. No toll going east but going west there is a toll.

[XCovlov70]

I thought I recognised that bridge! (Richmond–San Rafael Bridge) as I have been across it a couple of times when visiting SFO as well as the Golden Gate.

Pity there are no 6 lane highways over here, it might help out or confuse the Camels as well as the locals who seem to like walking down the middle of a two lane road, especially in the town centre, while pushing a wheel barrow!

[Da Tow'd]

you are doing a fine job at that
cheers

Finally got some time to continue.

Last picture was heading south through the San Jose area south of San Francisco to head to Monterey for a few nights.

The hotel in Monterey.

I wanted to stay another night or two. It would have been a Friday and Saturday. The price of the hotel would have gone from 40$ a night to 140$ a night. A very nice room for 40$. Not so much for 140$. I guess the weekenders are willing to pay because I would have gotten the last room for the weekend when during the week they were nearly empty.

Looks like a standard Marigold.

Headed out to Gilroy to shop the outlet mall and get a few garlic products (garlic tomatillo salsa) for my wife. The Garlic shop by the mall sent me to their store south of town.

They had this by the store. Oddest cow I have seen.

Next morning headed a bit south and then east to Las Vegas. Basically same route as last year but with a different departure so Las Vegas could be made in the one day.

This was the beginning of the largest pump jack farm that I have ever seen. Looking north and south you couldn't see the end of it and it had to be a mile deep.

You can't get into California on an interstate without the fruit and veggie inspection station.

Nearly into Lost Wages but ran out of light. Once there had to do some fancy detouring to get to the hotel (The Quad, which used to be the Imperial) because they were running a marathon race down the strip. Fowled up traffic for the entire night.

Made it into the hotel in one piece after sitting in way to much traffic. Found out in the morning that I have a view of Caesar's Palace. Also a balcony----that you may not want to go out on for fear of disturbing the pigeons.

Final batch.

Left Las Vegas a few days early due to what turned out to be some good predictions of bad winter weather coming in on the interstate north.

Left in the rain with about 6 degrees C. From there the weather was all over the place with a temperature trend to cold. No shots of the real ugly weather areas, got a little busy driving.

The area was interesting more so in the rearview mirror as the snow was all on the north facing slopes.

Hope every one enjoyed the trip as much as I did and thanks for taking the time to look.

Great Pictures!

Wonderful to see that the UK 'Sold' or possibly gave the plans for the 'BIG Wheel' to 'Lost Wages' (A good name for a Gambling City!)
Or did they sell the one in London to help cover the balance of payments?

That Seafood Bowl looked almost good to eat and I was nearly going for a Spoon to dig in! [thumbup]

Thanks for sharing.
