TIME

Sylmar

We left at 2:30 am, having discovered that the Interstate is virtually empty of traffic until daylight. Also, there is not much to see for the first 300 miles, anyway. There is no photo of our leaving. Sorry if this entry is misleading...

Ball's Ferry

This was a side trip. Nostalgia for Bob. In the summer of '62 (or maybe '61), Bud Fisher and Bob, Steve Stepanian and Mike Germain, Chris Osmers and Gray Davis started a 4 day canoe adventure on the Sacramento from here. Steppy, Oz, do either of you have photos from that trip? Oz, is "Gray Davis" right? Or is my memory wrong?

Bridge Bay,
Shasta Lake

We stopped here to look at house boats. You see, we were still thinking of living on a boat in Sequim. Somewhere following this stop, however, we changed our minds.
