Flew out of Madison, Wisconsin on July 25
We flew to Denver, Colorado and then onto Arcata, California
Then the pilot came over the intercom and said it was too foggy
We had to fly to another airport nearby that was about 100 miles inland
We refueled there and tried again for Arcata and then flew to San Francisco
We got put up for free in a motel and given 30 dollars in free food vouchers
Then it was on the shuttle bus back to the airport to try again for Arcata
I got on the wrong plane and was taken off of it
Luckily the person who took me off put me on the right plane
This time we made it to Arcata and I got my first rental car
Then as I was beat from lack of sleep, sore legs from being on a plane five hours
The night before, and the frustration of it all, all I wanted was to lay on a bed
So, from 3 pm till I went to sleep I just watched TV
So the next day, Saturday I went out and looked at trees going north on 101
This highway will take you all along the Redwoods parks
I went to two trees you can drive thru the next day
Then I went to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on Monday
I barely made it back over as the directions in that city were awful coming back
I spent the next two days swimming in the ocean, going to Oregon
And going to a Bigfoot museum in Willow Creek, California
I flew back on Thursday, August 1 with no problems
Total cost of the trip was around 3,500 dollars
