9-3SC California/Oregon Road Trip Posted by EGD [Email] (#663) [Profile/Gallery] (more from EGD) on Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:44:49 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Took the wife and kids on an 1800 mile road trip from north LA County to Crater Lake NP, Oregon.
The route to Crater Lake went through the Bay Area, Napa Valley, the coastal redwoods (Humboldt Redwoods and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and Redwoods NP), and Medford, OR.
The route back went through Klamath Falls, OR, Lava Beds NM in California (surprisingly interesting / cool place!), Lassen Volcanic NP, Virginia City, NV, and Mono Lake, CA.
Our SC performed superbly except for a burned out headlight bulb (replaced in Eureka, CA). Averaged 31 mpg. Highest altitude encountered was 8143' at Conway Summit on US-395.
Amazing scenery throughout. Wished we checked the function of our portable DVD player before we left since the kids got restless in spots. I can see that for a cross-country trip I'd probably want to get a roof mounted cargo carrier for the extra storage space.
Anyway, it's always fun to take a road trip in a Saab.
