avelWe are back from the road trip. Now that the road trip is over, we must publish a travelogue on our blog. So in the next few posts we shall cover each and every day of the trip.
Day 1 was Friday, Aug 14th. Nandana picked me up at work around 4:30PM. For our camping trip we needed the headlamp which I had loaned to Ajit ---so we drove around to his office to pick it up. Ajit's comment when he saw Nandana driving: "You are doing a great service by keeping dangerous drivers like him away from the road". He never did care much for my driving skills.
The drive was monotonous: we switched drivers every couple of hours. It got dark around Portland and after that there was just a succession of signs, exits and towns: Wilsonville, Salem, Eugene, Roseburg.... Driving in night one is hardly aware of progress ---the landcsape around is a mass of darkness with the highway two rivers of lights: one red and slow, the other white and fast. We were planning to push on to Medford to spend the night, but after Roseburg tiredness took over. We decided to stop at Grants Pass ---we saw a sign for Motel6, took the exit and called it a night after a quick check-in.
