Friday (Oct. 30) we pulled out of our spot rather late, and went into the Costco in Medford. We had found out the day before that the camera that we had been looking for a new lens for wouldn’t work with the fancy lenses that they are making now, so we had decided to purchase […]
South Beach State Park beach
Tuesday night, Vaughn and I went out to dinner – he had clam chowder in a bread bowl, and some exquisite grilled oysters, I had prawns. We couldn’t be on the coast and not go out for seafood even though we had been eating crabs and clams quite often. 🙂 Then we did a little […]
Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California…
By 2 Comments
On Tuesday, we drove into California and visited the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. At the border going into California, everyone must stop at a checkpoint station where they ask if you are bringing any fruits, veggies, plants, animals, or firewood into California. It felt weird to be stopped and asked about what we had […]

Monday afternoon (the 19th), we all drove south to Seal Rock state park to check out the tide pools. Since this trip was the first time that most of us had ever seen the ocean, we were pretty excited to check them out this initial time. The places along the ocean that we have visited […]
Clamming in Newport, Oregon
On Thursday, we backtracked up to Tillamook with the camper and had new tires put on it at Les Schwab – $486 – I love that Oregon is one of the few other states (like MT) that does Not have sales tax. The tires that were on the camper were the ones that were on […]
Happy Birthday Jake (& the Tillamook Air Museum)
By 1 Comment
Happy 12th Birthday Jacob! None of us slept very well with all the noise from the storm, so we didn’t get a very early start on Wednesday! After a late breakfast, we went to the Tillamook Air Museum. They had a short movie about the history of the hanger, and how the air museum came […]
