On a ferry from Port Angeles and sights in Victoria, B.C. — a classic Pacific Northwest crossing to the Inner Harbour.

Heading north through Northern California, stopping at the iconic Sundial Bridge in Redding — a stunning cable-stayed pedestrian bridge over the Sacramento River.

The weather forecast said rain but we were headed south to the land of sunshine, to Tomales Bay Resort at Point Reyes, California. Into the Redwoods, at Tomales Bay we explored Pierce Point and the Ranch, sunrise was wonder-full. Heading north we drove through another tree, stopped for lunch along the Eel River, took a break by the Pacific, had a side trip to cranberry bogs near Coos Bay, then headed east along the Umpqua River.

Another Thanksgiving journey through the Pacific Northwest — new roads, familiar landscapes.
