Alright so here are a few photos from Yosemite to here:

Photobucket
Yosemite just after Donohue Pass

Photobucket
This was where we got our first storm. It hailed for a bit, then just poured and crazy thunder and lightning in the open fields.....kinda scary.

Photobucket
But by the time we left it was gorgeous!

Just outside of Yosemite we reached the 1,000 mile mark!! It was crazy fun (and mom parachuted in......only to land in a tree. have the video, but it takes too long to upload)

Photobucket
One of my favorite spots thus far was Sonora Pass. There were sooo many cool rocks, and the colors were beautiful!

Photobucket
Raymondland (as I call it as everything is named after Raymond) was my favorite so far. Unfortunatly all the beautiful colors did not really show up in the photo. It was absolutely gorgeous in person!

Photobucket
Lassen National park was also very awesome. All kinds of hydrothermal activity and it was awesome!

Photobucket
Boiling pond with bubbling mud. It was very fun

Photobucket
The smoke was really bad around the fire areas. It turned the moon red

Photobucket
I tried to eat 5 lbs of pancakes in Seiad Valley

Photobucket
I only made it through 1 1/2 before the taste was making me sick (I could have eatten more if not for that- and we did go and get other food right afterwards for me to eat)

Photobucket
The smoke was aweful coming out of there.....but we got past it in a couple of hours thankfully

Photobucket
And we make it to Oregon!

Photobucket
It was soooo hot when we got there. We had carried celebration beverages from Seiad Valley, left hem out during the night to get cold, then wrapped them in our clothes to stay cool. So we had a nice cold beer (root beer for me) to celebrate getting out of California!

Photobucket
We got stormed on again oputside of Crater Lake. Much bigger hail and we were hoping it would not rip through the tent!

Photobucket
Thor sent me an excavate a dinosaur egg thing which was a lot of fun. Now I have my fossilized dino looking out for me

Photobucket
Going up towards the rimof CRater Lake it was really foggy. We were hoping it would clearup by the time we got there so we could see the lake.

Photobucket
When we got to the rim it was white. Then it got patchy foggy so we could see a little bit.

Photobucket
Then by the time we got to the north side it was sunny and gorgeous! The lake really was awesome, and to think how big it is and how awesome of an explosion that must have been to make it.....it was crazy

Photobucket
View from our last campsite before coming to visit Raymond's grandparents. It was gorgeous

Photobucket
And in the morning there was crazy mist on the lake. It was pretty cool.

And that is all for now. Oh and Raymond was in charge of uploading the photos and he didn't put them in the pct folder. So if you click on the link, then on the left hand side there are albums listed click on bbarnicle 22 and the first 18 pages or so are pct pics.

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Final Thoughts

That is it for our Iceland adventures! I wanted to post one last wrap up just to say a few things I didn't put elsewhere, or organize my overall thoughts in one place. 

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Ferry home - Tórshavn

The boat home was just as smooth and uneventful as the ride to Iceland. We left Iceland at 8pm Wed, Thurs at 3pm we arrive in Tórshavn and had a few hours to wander around, then back to the boat for the night, Friday was at sea, and Saturday we arrived in Hirtshals at 11am. 

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
