Hi Everyone.
We have re-entered California and are following the coast southwards.
Good news - my tooth ache has gone and I seem to be okay for the rest of the trip. The antibiotic has really helped.
We have been enjoying the wonderful scenery along the Pacific Coast of southern Oregon and now into northern California. Unfortunately we have had our first problem with the vehicle - a flat tyre on the RV. It is an inside tyre at the back of the bus, but compensated by the outside tyre. We`have had to cut our travel short today and, instead of heading into the "Avenue of the Giants" (which refers to the Redwood Forests) we have had to stay the night in the town of Fortuna, and hope to get things fixed here in the morning before moving on.
Here are some photos from travel yesterday and today:
The bridges in Oregon were all very impressive. We really enjoyed travelling over them and even made side trips to get to photograph them like this one.
Last night (Saturday) we stayed at in an Oregon State Park campsite by Humbug Mountain. We walked out to the beach under the road bridge and up above us were dozens and dozens of swallows, busily building their nests under the bridge. It was fascinating watching them working in pairs and "gluing" their construction material onto the concrete bridge, below the traffic.
This morning we crossed the state boarder into California. There are many beautiful ocean views with rocky sea shore vistas that are all worthy of photgraphing. This rock had a hole right through it with the waves coming through. It reminded me of a big rock not far from Kerikeri with a hole in it. Do you know the one I mean?
Hi Ken
