Day 1 Walnut Creek, CA to Sutherlin, OR 450 miles

We got out of the house at 9:30 and hit the road north toward Emerald Star.  The weather has been brutally hot at home and we are looking forward to the more temperate climate in Oregon & Washington.  Fred has said, we could not possibly fit a toothpick into the car.  We have outdone ourselves.  Every year we swear this won't happen, but it does.

The ride today was quite beautiful but OMG the number of trucks.  We stopped at the Black Bear Diner in Redding for a yummy lunch but kept up a brisk pace.  We arrived at out hotel, Best Western Plus Hartford Lodge in Sutherlin, OR, at 5:30 PM. http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/US/OR/Sutherlin-hotels/BEST-WESTERN-Plus-Hartford-Lodge/Hotel We have stayed her many times and it is by far the nicest BW we have ever seen.  We ordered a delicious Greek Vegetarian pizza from Abby's Pizza and then relaxed for another day of driving tomorrow to get to our final destination.
