I love grape jelly =)
I've got 25 minutes so i shall try to go fast
I stayed for about a week in eureka cause i didn't feel like driving for a bit. I mostly stayed at a camp ground that wasn't too great. It was basicly just a big parking lot. But it was on the bay and sometimes there were nice views. This was the moon rising while i was there one night.
In case anyone is wondering what my truck looks like now with stuff in it... Here 'tis. This is also that parking lot that i stayed in a bit. While i was here i went to the College of the Redwoods a few times to use there showers.
I think that this place was in southern oregon. I'm not sure where though. Ah yes... twas Humbug State Park i think. It was a nice little spot and in the morning i went for a run up this little mountain thingy by the camp site. It was 3 miles and 1700 or so feet up. I was quite pooped after wards.
This place i also can't remember what it's called. But it was inside these huge trees. It was also a huge camp ground. I think it was over 200 camp sites. It was right next to this huge beach that was quite windy.
While at this camp ground i went for a run on the beach. The wind was crazy which made it interesting. When i was running with the wind i would throw my shirt as far behind me as i could and then it would catch up with me and i would try to snach it out of the air. That was quite fun. But it wasn't as much fun running against the wind =)
The next place i stopped was a free camp site in a meadow.... or was this before the other one. It's funny how i can't remember now. Anyways it was pretty neeto. However my nose didn't like it as much as i did. These flowers i think are the culprit.... and the hole-in-the-ground toilet bathroom. For a whole day again my nose was running and eye crying (just the right eye). But i became a master here of the zen art of accepting the runny nose and just let it run. I found that if you don't fite it and blow your nose all the time it's actually not that bad. The boogers just kinda run from your nose into your mouth and you don't sneeze at all. Then when the alergies would go away for a bit and i could breath through my nose again i could smell the toilet =). And for some reason it was quite bad. So i actually prefered the boogers.
The best part about this place was the splediferous creek.
Shoot i'm runnen out of time so i shall just go through the rest quickly and i can come back and edit it later if i want to.
A nice place outside of Tillimook (i think that's how you spell it). Tis in northern Oregon.
There was this really funny family with 3 kids and 4 dogs that had this interesting house/car. The guy had taken his rv and chopped off the back to make it into a flat bed truck... which he used to holl a fifth-wheel. Quite silly i thought.

This was my best meal yet. Pasta with pesto sauce. It was suprisingly easy and tasty. And i had to use my water battle as a mesuring cup.

These are Sharens "Pet deer" that she feeds apples . The two little ones are i think just a couple of months old. She says that the momma deer has been coming around for about 6 years. Sharen was very kind and funny and it was great to stay with her. But now i must save this and go cause i have less than a minute left. I shall continue later =)

A bit of a snack
For all those people who's lives depend on me posting... Here is another post. It shall just be a little snack of a post, cause i don't have the time or the pictures (the camera is in the car) to make it a full meal. That will have to wait until later when i am at Sheran's house perhaps... i hope that how to spell her name, i don't much like misspelling peoples names.
Right now i am in the library at in Tillamook, which Nana informs me has the best cheese on the west coast (the city of tillamook that is, not the library). Tillamook is on the north coast of oregon. I called Sheran and she won't be home for another few days. I'm not in a big hurry to get anywhere so i told her that i shall just camp around here and wait cause it would be nice to see her. She is very excited. I too am excited, although i admit that the excitement comes equally from the prospect of a nice shower/bed as seeing an old friend. I will also be going to see Misi up in washington. That won't be for a little while though.
Things are going well and i shall update probably in about 5 days. If you have anything you want me to include, you can mention it in response to this post.
Have fun everyone =)

June 28th 2007
Well it's been one week now since i've been on my own. But before i was by my lonesome, i went on a short trip with mark and my friends mathew and brandon to a place called lake wildwood. It is near Yuba City. These are pictures of the lake that we spent most of our time at. 
After Lake wildwood i drove to Santa Cruz to look at Cabrillo College. I didn't feel like paying 40 for the camping there so i parked on the side of the streat. It was next to a Camper/ RV place, and the owner said i could sleep there. I slept in this place for two nights
Then i decided to try to get to eureka in two days of driving. So i started heading up the coast on highway 1. I did not anticipate how slow the drive was going to be, but it was a beautiful drive and i didn't mind.
The next night i stayed in the Hostel Because i wanted to stay in that area and sort of hike around. However, i had this huge allergy attack that day and was incapacitated. Tears were litterally streaming out of my right eye, and i was sneazing up a storm. And yes dad, i did take alivert. And no i'm not going to take it every day "cause it builds up"... i'm doing fine now and don't need to =). I don't have any pictures of that place but it was pretty neet. I met a few cool people and it was fun.

I landed at i think it's called Point Reyes National Park or something like that. Anyways they didn't have any spots available so they said to go to the Hostel which was right there. They also didn't have spots available. So i asked a ranger where i could sleep for the night and he said to go to Samuel P. Taylor National Park (I think that's what it's called). They where full also =). But i learned something quite useful. Perhaps not all National Parks, but at least this one, have a reserve camping area for people like me who couldn't get into the regular camping area and have no where to sleep. I still had to pay 20 bucks to sleep there and i had to camp in the picnic area... and be out by 9 in the morning. It didn't matter to me, i was excited to have a place to sleep. Just about all i did before turning in was take a few pictures:

I next headed north again and stopped for the night in Fort Bragg. The lady at the Chamber of Commerce said that there was a free camp site a little ways a way. It turned out to be quite amazing and 100% free, which is even more amazing.
I stayed there two nights and then drove to Eureka, where i am now. I Fixed up my car windows so that they wouldn't leak into the camper shell, and now i'm at College of the Redwoods to use the computor.
I know the post didn't have any juicy details or personal thoughts on things... but i didn't feel like taking a long time on this. So tis just the basics of what has happened.
I might or might not post again (everything about my future is uncertain) so don't check too often =)
