We leave the Carter House and head north. Crossing the Del Norte Co. line over the Klamath Bridge we must slow down because a 40 foot grey whale has decided to take a vacation in the river and there are gawkers by the score cramming the roadway to catch a glimpse of the off-white blob as it lounges in the fresh water.
We stop at the Lady Bird Johnson Grove for a little hike. Is that a bear? No. Just a burl.
Our Nav lady refuses to send us on the free way. Computer glitch? Lots of women hitching. Then on to Annie’s in Eugene, where we hear her Richard Pryor story.
