Week 2 took us from Sebastopol CA to Grants Pass OR, via Mendocino, many redwood parks, the "Lost Coast," and bits of the southern Oregon coast. It included many long, steep, winding trips back and forth across various coastal ranges. We've now followed the redwoods through their current range (Big Sur to southern Oregon). We've been practicing a 21st century version of "living off the land," sourcing our food and drink locally as much as possible. This has included wineries, microbreweries, a wood-fired brandy distillery (!), farmers markets and natural food stores, and a gift of fresh-caught salmon and perch. The week was dominated by a for-us off-screen event, the Granite Mountain (aka Doce) fire in Prescott. Although my sister's and parents' neighborhoods were evacuated, no homes burned, and last night Niki and Steve were finally able to go home. We're now heading for the Appegate Valley, where we hope to refill our empty wine "cellar."
