California Road Trip

I think we have mapped out our drive from Phoenix to Corvallis, OR next week and we've got some great stops planned along the way. We fly down to PHX Friday, spend a few days in Scottsdale and visit with family then leave Chandler next Tuesday. From there we have an aggressive schedule to complete:

1. Camp at Red Rock Canyon State Park (Tues)
   
2. Camp/Hike at Sequoia and Kings Canyon (Wed)
   
3. Hike at Yosemite and find hotel (Thurs)
   
4. Stop off at Lake Tahoe (Fri)
   
5. Camp/Hike at Lassen Volcanic Park (Fri)
   
6. Drive like crazy home to the funny farm in Corvallis (Sat)

We'll see how many stops we get in, the biggest driving legs are Tues and Sat so hopefully we can drive and hike the rest of the days. I think Bill is still having thoughts on climbing Mt Whitney and checking out the Xterra bike course at Lake Tahoe and I'm not saying a word about it at this point.

I'm going to miss my dog like crazy but he can't go to the national parks in California. We've got a house sitter lined up and will ask friends to take him out to play while we're gone but I'm used to my dog hogging my sleeping bag at night when we camp and patrolling the trail ahead of me. Don't cry thinking about it. (sob sob)
