Road Trip September 2017

Time to start bogging again.  It's only been over 2 years, what the heck!

So this summer Everett and I will take a road trip up to Oregon to visit my cousin Kent and his family.  Kent and Jackie live in O'Brien, OR, which is just north of the border and an hour or so away from the coastal sequoias.  On the way up we plan to visit and stay with Debby Kielich, a high school girlfriend of Everett's, who lives in Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento.  She is already planning activities to share with us, such as visiting a local micro-brewery!

After spending some time with Kent in Oregon, we will visit Crater Lake, which I have never seen, and then wend our way down to Lassen, stopping for the sights along the way.  One town which I really want to visit is Burney, California, named after a settler who was killed by the local Indians, and who was some sort of related cousin of my dad.  Dad's mom's maiden name was Burney, and there are lots and lots of Burneys in Dad's genealogy.  So that will be fun. Here's the Instagram link to Burney, CA

So, stay tuned as I do some more planning, and I will post notes and photos from along the way.
