Almost done

I left Sacramento bright and early with an 8-hour drive ahead of me. Adorning my back window was a NEW radio station sticker! I forgot to mention yesterday, but I decided to try my luck getting window stickers from radio stations that play Five For Fighting music. I scored on the first one... 100.5 The Zone. They had the stickers sitting on the counter of the front reception desk, and I grabbed a few. The other station was a washout...I won't embarrass them by mentioning the name. So, I happily placed The Zone sticker in the big empty spot on my window...looks good!

I drove in sunshine most of the day, which surprised me. That's northern California's Mt. Shasta in the pic, taken on the road. According to The Weather Channel, I thought for sure it would be overcast and rainy. With the nice weather, I made good time, stopping only for lunch and gas. I have to admit, I'm liking having my gas pumped for me...they do that for you in Oregon. As long as it's not busy, it goes really fast, and you just wait in the comfort of your own vehicle. No muss, no fuss. The friendly 76 guy even cleaned my windshield for me without me having to ask him. I'll get such service one more time when I fill up tomorrow before crossing over into Washington where they DON'T pump your gas for you. I was going to the Oregon Zoo but since the weather forecast says wind and rain, I think I'll just take in a museum or two. My road trip will be coming to an end, but I think it's time. I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
