Ode to the Pathfinder

Camping on the Lost Coast — one of our first trips in the Pathfinder.

I know there's no good timing for an accident, but I do think totaling our only car right when we're planning to move is definitely not great timing. But since no undo-quick-command exists in reality, we just have to deal with it.

The shock of my accident has worn off, and I started thinking about all the great adventures we had in that car:

- Our Lost Coast camping trip after we first got Aspen.
- Camping at Point Reyes, and then driving back to San Fransisco to see Katie, Caleb and Mazie.
- Our trip to Cambria, where we fell in love with California's Central Coast.
- Driving out Highway 4 to take Logan camping at Bull Run Lake.
- Picking up, and dropping Zack off at the airport over Thanksgiving when he missed the airport shuttle.
- Numerous trips around Lake Tahoe when we felt like exploring the North Shore.
- And finally, moving back up to Bellingham.

I know I'm forgetting a lot of other events, and I'll try to add to the list if I remember more. Hopefully the next vehicle we get will give us as many – or more — great memories as the Pathfinder did.
