The drive so far has gone well. We made it to Ashland on this leg. We decided to break up the driving over two days to make the trip a little more relaxed.
We stopped in Crestwell (outside of Eugene) for dinner. We had some awesome diner food at a cute little local places call The Rocket Inn. Neat place, complete with lots of locals and fun wait-staff. I would recommend for a quick bite.
The '12 Explorer is handling well, very comfortable, and is fun to drive as it eats the miles. I have it pretty tricked-out for the trip, including a wireless hotspot, power inverter and multistrip for charging all the personal electronic devices, and my iPhone w/ Waze on the dash to give me the skinny on the roads ahead.
We are staying over at the Ashland Springs Hotel. It is a beautiful historic hotel in the middle of Ashland, which is one of my favorite Oregon towns. I'm looking forward to waking up rested and enjoying a stroll around town before hitting the road again.
