SNAPSHOT: Cali Coast Road Trip

January 14, 2015 By Bryon Dorr Leave a Comment

2014CaliCoastDrive 1
Shell Beach, CA Sunset

A quick road trip up the Cali coast, from Shell Beach, CA to Eugene, OR, on our way north to the 2014 NW Overland Rally, and points North, this past Spring. Life is all about new experiences, good friends and adventure. Quality adult beverages, like Ninkasi craft beer, and fresh food to share with friends in amazing locations also helps. Live a “Life of Adventure”!
