Our goal was to leave by 10 AM; we left at 11. We did enjoy a lovely breakfast: choice of biscuits/gravy, cereal, apples, toast, bagels. We arrived in Ashland at 11:30, to begin the search for a parking spot big enough for the Jeep and trailer, that was for more than 2 hours. We toured some shops - Katie bought a watch; Anna a signed Mary Pickford picture; Matt bought a hat and an eraser ("out damn spot out"). Also purchased a book and a patch for the festival.
We enjoyed delicious sandwiches for lunch at Allyson's Kitchen. Anna and Katie tried the wine-tasting.
Our stop in Ashland was to attend the Shakespeare Festival. We attended "Pride and Prejudice", sitting in the last row but with a great view, as the rows were stadium-style. All enjoyed the play very much.
We drove on to Yreka and stayed at a Super 8. Our wildlife siting consisted of a dragon sculpture in a field. We ate at a Black Bear Diner (yes, a chain, but we haven't been to one for awhile). Matt looked for boxers in the gift shop but none were to be found. He said to the waitress, "You've cut back on your clothing". She replied, "Pardon me?" with a rather odd look. Katie quickly added, "In the gift shop!"
I just recalled the "rules of the road". Anna brought a starter list, which included items such as "respect each other" and "driver picks the music"; I can't recall the rest. Unfortunately, we lost the list; it flew out of the car when we stopped for gas or rest stop or the California border, where they asked if we had fruit (I was told to be quiet about the apples from the hotel). Anna mentioned the list would probably end up on a website that includes weird stuff found on the road (also can't remember the website name).
The list flew out when we were at California customs being asked if we have fruit. It was very windy.

I can't remember too much of the list, just "no counting cars"
