All we brought were phones and tablets, and could not get anything close to a good image. Even if we brought our only camera, it is a point and shoot digital so that would have been just as useless as out phones.

We went up the 395, picking it up near Ridgecrest, all the way to pretty much our destination of Monument OR. Not a single hotel vacancy the whole way, but no traffic.
