   I left Glide and headed south for Jacksonville, OR.  I had made arrangements to take a tour by Segway of this old mining town. I happened to be
the only rider for the afternoon tour, and since I had basically seen the town by way of an afternoon street trolley tour, the guide took me
off the beaten path along a hiking trail above the town (pictures below).  Also took an interesting ride through the old town cemetery. 






   By early evening I was in 
Monterey, where I took these 
pictures of the "Moon Tree,"
just down the street from 
Veteran's Memorial Park where
I spent the night (right in 
the heart of town). It's a 
Coast Redwood planted from a 
seed that had been taken to 
the moon!

I visited Cannery Row 
in Monterey first thing in 
the morning and toured the 
aquarium for a few hours 
before heading home.









On 46, just before joining I5, I drove through the Lost Hills Oil Producing area, where there are hundreds upon hundreds of oil wells.


I had not originally intended on driving all the way home but, what can I say?  Only a few hundred miles to go!!!
