Oregon Coast on 101, Turn Left in California!

We are heading down the coast sampling State Parks and figuring out next steps right before we take them. I’m so proud of myself for not being hysterical; I’m finding that tiny spark of “it’s really OK joy” in my lack of total control. The coast provides a slideshow of spectacular views; I’ll insert some of the many places we explored. 

The coast road on 101 is still in repair mode, and we can see where the storms have taken bites out of the road. Looks like the repairs are repairs to the quick fixes earlier. Down the coast of Oregon and CA, we stayed in state parks...Nehalem Bay, Humbug Mountain (Bah!)! It was lovely. 

 

Cruising into California, we lucked out and got a place in the Redwoods...we just drove through Avenue of the Giants...and it was a different world. Our campground was once again (Yes! we stayed there in 2017) Hidden Springs in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Put this on your list, because you must just feel the trees and have conversations with them. Here is me looking up to try to see the top on some small fry in our camp...Couldn't! 

Tomorrow we are headed East into the Heat Dome we have heard so much about. Bring it on!

And about the weather...we are thinking of friends and family getting too much rain in too short a time. Sending you all love from the great Happy Breadbox on the road.
