Northwest Day 15: Back home

Monday, August 4, 2014

Odometer: 2358

The trip home from Chico was rather uneventful. After a last sample of rural life (but lots of trucks) on I-5 and I-505, we were back in the Sacramento-San Francisco corridor and into the traffic and familiar craziness of the Bay Area. We had lunch out before returning home: there wasn’t much food in the house.

We needed to be very careful not to drive in the garage with the car-top carrier on. While it was a little disappointing that we got only three days of camping out of a 15-day trip, we saw a lot and it was a nice reminder of the 1993 trip Kenna and I took and of many trips Kenna took when she was young. We were happy to introduce all of this to Celeste.

Mileage today: 215 miles

Ending odometer: 2573
