We're finally in Oregon!

After 36 days in California, we finally made it to Oregon.  We certainly didn't plan to spend a month there, but we had some enjoyable diversions (and some mechanical issues) that kept us there a bit longer than expected. Oregon did not disappoint!

The beach is like a giant Etch-A-Sketch: we leave our prints and then the tide comes and readies the sand for the next artist.

Dinner in the harbor at Brookings: really great clam chowder, crab melt and halibut at the hungry clam.

A water parking lot.

The fog rolled in on us and just brought a beautiful hush to the woods.  We stayed with Bob and Sue-we intended to stay next door on my sister and brother-in-law's land but it was just too muddy.  Bob had 30 amp service, water and sewer hook-ups and was kind enough to open his home to us and allow us to park in the drive.  We've met so many genuinely nice people on this trip.

I just really liked the look of this y-shaped tree.

The forest floor




The caterpillar was about the size of a penny.  I was enamored with the contrasting colors in the ferns and moss.


Wish we had some sunshine: Bob and Sue have such an awesome view of the ocean and a gorgeous house in the woods.  We're on our way out in this pic.

Trish and Travis, we're just about to pull out to the street, your driveway is directly behind us.  I believe the logs were left from Bob's place after construction.
