Oregon and California Coasts




The good news is that our trip home is safely completed and the bad news is that the house is totally "trashed" with everything we unloaded from the motor home. I have to get busy and get everything sorted, put away, laundered, etc. and Chuck has to winterize the motor home. I will admit I have been finding it very easy to play slide shows of photos of our trip home and my photos of the "grands" (grandchildren)to avoid the work that needs to be done!

We decided to take the scenic route back to Colorado by avoiding interstate highways and driving down the coast of southern Oregon and northern California. We did start out on I-5 but went over to the coast at Reedsport. Gary worked down in this area a few(?) years ago. I'll post a photo of one of the sand dunes from that area. We saw lots of sea stacks -- they have always been one of my favorite coastal views in central Oregon coastal locations -- but the ones in southern Oregon and especially northern California are absolutely spectacular. I will never tire of watching the ocean waves pounding over and around those stacks. Mini-water falls burst forth over some of the flatter ones. I just wanted to sit and watch the waves for a couple of weeks -- I don't think I would ever tire of watching Mother Nature do Her thing on the coast.
