What a wonderful adventure. Stop and smell the roses, at least that is what I've tried to tell myself. Like others, I wish I'd have known that you were going to be in our area......
What a nice trip. I'm very happy you and the family are all doing well and that your mama is better from covid. God bless, and thank you for sharing your journey with us all.
I've done the run from Salt Lake to Portland many times in summer and winter. Emigrant hill is really fun on a motorcycle. Last time I did the trip, I84 through the Blue Mountains was closed due to trucks wrecking in the snow. Changed plans to go south on I5 then back home on I40 through Flagstaff. Best part of the trip was stopping in Winslow Arizona,such a fine site to see.
Very nice video, especially with the amazing quilt and reaction. I loved the embroidered note from Sarah! Great work... I live in CA and we have family throughout OR so we have made many drives up there, in all sorts of weather, but mostly a lot of Oregon rain I think. :) The coast drives are always good... Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this adventure John. I live due west of Willits and am glad you got to see the beauty Mendocino has to offer. Safe travels and excellent smithing good sir
Some amazing sky’s ! Beautiful, thanks for sharing. This is the way I love to travel, loose plans, stop at the interesting places and avoid the busyness
Glad everything went well and it was cool to "meet" the family. I would like to go to Oregon one day to irritate the owners of the Goondocks in Astoria.😂
More than 20 years ago I took a trip from Texas to California via New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Nevada about the same time of year, via much of the same route as you took. (Though We went into Utah by going west from Cańon City in CO). Beautiful country all the way; Glad you got to take a grand tour!
Wow! What a wonderful, special quilt! That's so incredibly heartwarming that your mom got to see it finished. The last time i got to visit the west was when i was 12 and my mom drove the family to go see my older sister stationed at a naval base in Monterrey, then to Oregon to see my aunt. I remember the total wonder of going through the relatively parched, but beautiful landscape for so very long before visiting the rainforest up there. What a contrast! We're lucky to live in such a beautiful, ecologically diverse country.
Such a beautiful video and adventure John. Thanks for sharing it with us. You always suprise me with the content you make, you keep getting better and better. Patiently waiting too see more from you :) Best regards
That is just a lovely video and it was really nice to see your mum's face when you gave her back the quilt. I have spent quite a bit of time on Hw101 cycling in Oregon as that is where my ex wife was from and it is just an amazing place to visit!
The quilt is the highlight of the trip.
A grandmother’s love passed on albeit 89 years later.
Thank you, Sarah. What a generous thing you did.

Often the most memorable adventure is the one unplanned.
That is such a great story, John. Thanks for sharing! I love the drone footage!

It's amazing to see you travel right past my house. I'm in California City CA off the 58. Small world we live in.
Beautiful, John. Thank you.
Your film making has gone next level, John! A beautiful little short story here.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Some of the best trips are the ones you don't plan , just go with the flow. So awesome you were able to give your mom that quilt 👍
So true!

Nice trip! It is neat to see all the different climates on a long trip like that! 😎
So beautiful there!
Glad that you got to see your mother, and you're blessed ! still have her be safe lost my mom and dad in the 90's
If I’d known you’d be in my neck of the woods I would have put some coffee on for you! What an adventure that turned out to be.

We like to travel off season. Less hectic it seems like. Glad your mom made a full recovery.
Amazing footage from start to finish! Thanks for sharing your trip.
