We drove about 700 miles the first day, stopping in Olympia and Salem for some capital pictures. We ended up spending the night in Red Bluff, California, at a Motel 6 with a pool and wonderful wonderful air conditioning.
This morning we drove down to San Jose to pick up Eric's co-author and fellow Oz fan, then on down to Asilomar Conference Grounds. I'm now sitting in the main lobby and registration area blogging our presence.
More later, when I've got a little more time.
