Gabrielle's Oregon Trip Experience





The metal dragon outside of Yreka.
Yreka is the big town at the northern tip of CA.






Crossing the border from CA to OR.






Just outside of Grants Pass is this wonderful wildlife rehabilitation center. When Terri Irwin moved to Australia (Crocodile Hunter fame), some of her animals, including her mountain lion, Malina, came here to live. The girls have adopted a mountain lion, a bobcat, and a bear. (This picture was taken December 2007.)


In order to get to Myrtle Point from I-5, you take H-42 through the town of Winston where my grandma lives. Winston is home to Wildlife Safari. This is the view from my grandmother's front door. She lives on the South Umpqua River








Just outside of Myrtle Point, I found myself behind this van: It's Betty!!





On the drive home, it was pouring rain. On Sunday morning, before heading to the show room, Lindsay and I checked traffic conditions, knowing that we would have to climb up the Siskiyou pass in order to get home. Although we did not have to wear chains, all vehicles were required to carry them. Sure enough, it was snowing when we climbed Mt Ashland, but not cold enough to stick yet.





And... when we got to the agricultural checkpoint upon entering California, look who was directly in front of us: Lindsay!
