Day 1 - Tim takes commanding lead in Schneider game; Taylor comes to conclusion Redwood trees are big

Schneider game? Yes indeed. The Schneider game is something that my father invented on family trips to Indiana when I was a kid, if I remember correctly. Schneider is a nationwide trucking company, and their trucks are a very recognizable bright orange. When you see one, say "Schneider." That's it. As far as I know, such a long-distance game of Schneider has never been attempted. Day 1 was bad, bad, bad for Taylor.

We did some mega stunts in front of Redwood trees. Taylor got some bangers in there, too, but my photographic timing needs fine tuning.



Redwood trees are awesome. You should go. They look like this:



We made it to Weott, Calif., in the Humboldt National Redwood Forest. About 450 miles, a good chunk of it being on super windy two-lane roads. Campground was OK. We slept in the back of the van and listed to "Duma Key," by Stephen King on CD. Good times.
