Relocating

Ryan, Junebug, and I moved to Oregon on February 5th. Here's our trip through the eyes of my iphone and my digital camera..
it was a cold and rainy night. err, mid morning..


the bend in the photo was possibly due to all the acid we dropped as we said our final goodbyes to the apartment.


Abe and I are giddy cause I bought dvd monitors for the Rav4 and a little later we're gonna break out some Bill & Ted's awesome adventure.


picked up this nice fellow along the way. Don't think he'll cause any trouble. Ryan's got his shank under the seat if he tries to pull anything.



Baby Einstein for miles and miles and miles and miles.....


First of all I would like to say that mom's rule. Mom's will die for you. Mom's will bend over backwards for you and do your laundry and give you advice and love you unconditionally, all while making you a samich. (that's right, samich). That said, I would just like to point out how much MY mom rules with this photograph. This is box one of three. Nuff said.


driving amongst nothingness. It gives you this feeling of liberation, lonelyness, nostalgia, and a sinking panicky feeling that there's not a bathroom for miles..



You know..hehe...the funny thing about acid is that it can really just creep up on you at any time. You never know when it's just gonna say "hey dude!! remember me fucker?! that's right...you thought you could just have a fun time and never see me again?! I don't think so! Have fun on this desolate road trapped in this tiny car with too much shit in it with not a bathroom in sight!!! or a 7-11!" yup... it's a nasty drug kids.


Yes! an ihop! A 24 hour Ihop no less.



We made it to Redding. Found a cheap hotel. JB graciously gave up his bed there in the middle to Abe so he didn't have to sleep on the floor. Abe is surprisingly flexible.


This ones for Chris. Yes, we found it. And yes, It was just a town consisting of a Forest and two gas stations holding the racket on all paraphernalia having to do with the towns name and the double entendre. So sad.


This continued for 300 miles. Ahhh the sweet sounds of three men sleeping.


Insert "Welcome to Oregon" sign here.


I took this for my mom. She and my dad were members of the Oregon Shakespeare Theatre for years. They had Ned (my brother) then but not me. he was little and they used to keep him up too late to watch the shows. All the people in the theatre would look after him if my mom and dad were in the same show. It's crazy what different lives he and I were brought up in. My mother often says she has two only children.


A mesa. I think..


So we arrived on a Friday. Our stuff arrived 6 days later. Abe stuck it out with us through all the sleeping on the floor and restaurant visits with a 2 year old and no tv. I salute you.


So that's it. That was our trip in a nutshell.

This will be my blog to post all the funny strange beautiful happenings in this weird town through photographs.
