Northern California, and Southern Oregon

This last trip that I went on was to a few stores in Oregon, and a few in Northern California.
Past the town of Weed and all



I was only there for 3 days, but hit the ground running, and did not stop until I was back in the airport on my way home.
There is not a direct flight from Dallas to Medford, so on the way out, I connected in Los Angeles. After that experience, I have told myself to remember to NEVER connect out of LAX again. It was very time consuming, and odd. I had to wait for a bus to take me from terminal C to Terminal B, then wait on another bus to take me to terminal A. Not to mention, there are really no signs that say what needs to be done. You have to ask, unless you are lucky enough to see the one sign that has an arrow and says gates 30-40 here. You follow that sign to an empty room thinking “ok now what? I don’t see any gates. Then a bus pulls up outside of the terminal (where all the planes are driving around and taking off) and you figure that must be your ride.
It was odd. Oh well, I am a seasoned air traveler, so I was pretty calm. I was just looking at those first timers, and feeling bad for them.
I luckily connected out of Salt Lake on the way back.
Going to the west coast always seems to take so long, then you think about it, and it does take a long time. I left on Tuesday morning from Dallas at 6:00. I landed in Medford at 11:00. With the loss of two hours, that is 7 hours of travel. It seems like Oregon is not that far from Texas! But it is!
While was there, I was in awe almost the whole time. It is so beautiful up there. Each time I went through Grants Pass, It was raining, and foggy but you could still see the splendor through all of that. I am sure glad I took this trip in the fall, and was blessed to not have to drive Grants Pass in the snow!
I sure do miss mountains.
I am now complete with my travels for this year. We are now going to let the stores focus on the Holiday Season, and hope for the best! I am a little relieved that I am done with travel now, because the Region that I am over is not a fun Region to traverse in the winter! Plus I am a little wore out from the travel! So no I can get ready for all the holidays myself!
