MADE IT TO THE COAST!

We finally made it to the Oregon coast! After a couple of days at Collier State Park, and an overnight recharging at Valley of the Rogue State Park, we headed to the coast, had a night at William Tugman State Park at Eel Lake and are now heading north up Oregon's coastline. We passed through Florence (looks like a wonderful place, but didn't stop - sorry, Mom!) until we hit Cape Perpetua. We're going to spend a few days here; here's the view out the back of the Chinook (we're right on a lovely creek that you can't quite see in the photo:

This is our Chinook (and our campsite) viewed from the trail that runs along the campground to the Cape Perpetua Visitor's and Interpretive Center (about half a mile away):
And when we reached the Visitor's Center, here is the Pacific:
On the trail back to the campsite, we came across this little albino fellow, also both making his way home and carrying his home, just as we are!:

There are 26 miles of hiking trails here, so we may just stay more than a few days! Gotta type fast, though, as we have no hook-ups here, and must conserve the laptop batteries!

  1. OMG - that photo of the coast is incredible! I've never seen the Oregon coast but that pic just moved it way up to almost top of my list. It's scenery like that that must bring home the phrase, living the dream.
