A Little More of Our Trip

I thought I would share a little more of our trip to California.
This was my view most of the time. There sure is a lot of driving involved with trucking....


We did get to rent a car for a couple days and have some fun time. I loved Pier 39. The shops are so much fun. It was terribly crowded the day we went but I didn't care. Crowds don't deter me from shopping.



We stopped to tour the Winchester Mystery House. I absolutely loved this place. If you haven't heard about it I suggest you search it online and read up on it. It was so weird, yet interesting.


Then we were back in the truck. Coming from such a small town with only a few stop lights, this traffic always amazes me.



This part of the trip home was one of my favorites. The landscape was absolutely beautiful. I took way too many pictures through here and they all look the same.
Gorgeous.


We made a pitstop at Devil's Canyon. The parking lot was small and we didn't really know what we were stopping at. We walked down the trail to the edge and this is what we saw. I know the picture doesn't do it ANY justice. It was truly breathtaking.


We saw this little guy when we were there.


Then we turned and this big guy was standing there looking at us. He actually started walking towards us for quite a ways before he finally took off up the hill.


Back on the road again. Only about a day and a half of driving left until we are home.

    Now I'm intrigued, I think I'll go check out that mystery house. Glad you enjoyed your trip, at least you had a nice "high" view up there in that cab.

    Cool pics! Looks like a great trip! My dad was a long haul trucker when I was a kid and I got to go with him quite a few times on the road. This post brings back memories!

    Thanks for sharing :)

    Awesome pictures! I have been to California but none of the other western states. After seeing a few bloggers' pictures, I'm thinking I would love to go.

    Fun! I love driving out west (well, maybe not in the cities!) as it's so pretty. Out east, the trees just clutter everything up so you can't see anything.
