Klamath, Oregon; Current odometer: 199608 (trip start: 199191); Miles travelled: 417; Current location of writing: a pleasant pine-filled meadow that forms the public space of the Crater Lake Resort (a somewhat grandiose name for a dozen cabins and a row of RV hookups).
( Finally, the odd travel-related dream )
So I left the house around 7:30 with coffee in hand, bridge toll stowed within reach, a limited assortment of healthy snacks in the seat beside me, and the iPod hooked into the car stereo with a new album I hadn't listened to yet. ( Album review: Sting - Songs from the Labyrinth )
There's always a point when a road trip clearly diverges from just driving somewhere -- a point when you move beyond the fields you know. It doesn't happen on I-80 because I'm always going towards Sacramento for something or other. For that matter, it doesn't happen when heading north up the valley on I-5 ( more trip report with pictures, assuming the pictures load properly )
