August 5: Gilroy, CA to Klamath Falls, OR

August 5

I did it:  I finally hit my 50th state!!!  I'm just over the border but I'm here!

Today was a travel day with few stops.  The most exciting stop was at the Olive Pit; a cool store in the olive capital.  Samples included jalapeno stuffed olives with garlic, jalapeno, almond, garlic stuffed olives, spicy olives, Greek olives, orange creme almonds, various balsamic vinegars, as well as craft beer or wine tastings.  It was a delightful hour!

The drive included various sceneries from totally flat farmland (cool fields of artichoke plants) to rolling hills to Mt Shasta.  Unfortunately as we moved up, it got hazier and hazier with smoke from the forest fires on either side settling down in the valleys.

Dinner was at the Thai Orchid.

If you look really close, you can see Mt Shasta in the background.
