Although I am actually here in Oregon and have been for a week, I want to share a bit of "excitement" from the Bishop to Redding leg of our trip. What was supposed to be a 7.5 hour trip slowly turned into a 13 hour journey. This is partially because of an enjoyable excursion to Yosemite, where we saw a somewhat frozen lake, plenty of snow and beautiful landscapes. However, we got sidetracked onto a new path and made our way through a small town of the name Colusa. It is their prime season for farming rice, and the fields were having a hayday. Along with the lush beauty of this area came a certain pestilence. That is..the rice gnats, as I call them. Swarming everywhere, these tiny little flies caused ourselves and other motorists to pull over after having gone through the area to clean their thickly covered windshields. It was akin to cleaning off a light green mud. It smeared, it smelled and it stuck.
First some pictures from Yosemite:
Luna loves the snow!
Now some pictures from the rice gnat's wrath on my car:
