Klamath Falls

[snousle]

In Klamath Falls tonight, en route to BC. Yeah, I've hardly been at home lately.

This town really rolls up the sidewalks. The motel parking lot is full of motorcycles but they all appear to be sleeping or something. It seems, demographically speaking, that there ought to be a rowdy bar on the outskirts of town full of ranchers and loggers, but I have no idea where it is. A few long-shot stabs at Silverdaddies have also drawn a blank. Guess I'll just sleep, it's a long way to chefxh's place tomorrow and I'd like to have enough daylight hours to check some things out en route.

[Update: Fishing on teh internets did not draw a blank... stay tuned!]

Had a great hike at Castle Crags earlier today. Thought I'd keep it short but it ended up being about two hours, most of it straight up! It took me to a lovely mountain spring at the base of the crags with delicious water.

Highway 97 is way interesting. Very few people, but a good road for long distance travel. So far, anyway. Never been this way before.

This trip will see 3 days at my dad's place at the lake, then 3 days visiting my mother in Vancouver, followed by a detour to the Kitsap Penninsula to see a man about a horse. Heh. Then probably a visit with twobraids and back home. For a while, I hope!

Not exactly sure what it means, but about 30 years ago I went into a grocery store in SF, saw a box of potatoes marked "Klamath Falls" and immediately stopped. It was like something was telling me to go there, but I never made it.

Wonder what it all meant?

You'll find 97 to be a nice road, though pretty boring for the 100 miles of straight road with no changing scenery. I've made that trip several times. The low speed limit is annoying, but the roads are in good shape.

Groovin'. When do you think you'll be in Van? I'll probably run into you if I'm around.
