Spent 3 days at Beverly Beach State Park on the Oregon coast, great campground and great area. It rained mostly but in between was gorgeous. Food at Newport was fantastic @ local ocean. Seen devils punch bowel and other sites.
Moved up to Blue Heron Cheese here in Tillamook( harvest host). Great harvest host. Looking out at the mountains every morning. Took a hike yesterday Cape Lookout, 5+ miles but what a view! 40 miles north and south. Unfortunately didn’t see any whales. Did see sea lions. Also Mears lighthouse.

What can I say, we love Oregon! We are staying at a RV campground in Umpqua National Forest about 35 miles west of Crater Lake. Drove out to the coast to see Circles in the Sand in Bandon, about 2 3/4 hrs away as it sounded interesting; that and I wanted some seafood. All I can say is WOW, it was amazing. Drawing a laberynth in the sand to walk through. Then the sea caves, Ariel’s Grotto , as Donna called them. Next day Umpqua Hot Springs and local water falls. There are over 20 in the area. Kinda scary, Donna was checking house/ property prices in the area. Photo dump below.

Alright, now for our weekly update. Stayed last week at Crater Lake Rv Park in Prospect Oregon. Great park, full hookups, fantastic area. Hiked several smaller trails 2.5 miles or less and did one that was a little over 4 miles with 2 miles straight up, minimal switchbacks. Tumalo mountain. Went to Crater Lake on day but it was rainy, cloudy, foggy, and COLD! We plan Togo back Tomorrow as it will be in the 80’s. We also seen the fish hatchery Cole M Rivers, processing King Salmon. Tried to talk them out of one but said I had to go catch it. I said sure, can I jump in the tank and fish one out😂🤣. Today we moved here, long drive, I think maybe 50 miles….but it was through mountains and snow and Sasquatch’s I’m sure. Beautiful waterfalls! Yeppers, loving life with my beautiful wife. Photo dump below. Love to all!

So we spent 5 days in Northern California at Panther Flats campground right on the Smith River. One of the most beautiful rivers I have ever seen, water was crystal clear/ blue. Hiked several local trails through the mighty redwoods, attended a ranger led hike( highly recommend) visited the Coast, ate lingcod , rockfish and oysters. Seen an ever elusive Martten( so freaking cool, look them up). Several herds of Elk and Deer. All in all, another fabulous adventure, though I believe we have a guest that needs to depart, a trap will be set tonight. Now we are in Oregon at Crater Lake RV Park, beautiful! Photos below.
