It seems the temperatures are warmer at night near the coast, we like that! Today’s pack up was remarkably fast and we were on the road at a reasonable hour for a change. Lately we have struggled to get going before 11:00! We started off on the 101 which in […]

We got up at a reasonable hour and cooked breakfast, then packed up our campsite that was home for the last 4 days. It’s was a nice sunny day, and we headed south along the 101. Our first detour was just after Klamath; on my map of the Redwood Parks […]

The weather finally seemed favourable to back track to the north a little to see some more of the Oregon coast before we get stuck into California for the final chapter of this trip. The idea was to head north along the 101 pacific highway and stop at the first […]

A late start today but not too much on the menu so all was well. Zoe got up and got breakfast going while I enjoyed the warmth of my sleeping bag although the nights are not as cold as they were a few days ago. We both needed a shower […]

Day off!

Day 191, Crescent City CA, Oct 11th

Boy does it get cold at night!!! The sun didn’t get to us hidden under the tall trees and getting out of the sleeping bags was tough but not as tough as sliding into our frigid clothes! We got there in the end, dressed and… cold! We had planned to […]

Day 190, Union Creek CG OR – Crescent City CA, ...

We woke up nice and cosy in our king bed, ready to tackle the day without delay. After a meagre low budget breakfast which hopefully would keep us fed until Crater Lake, we headed west along the North Umpqua highway towards Diamond Lake. The road was great in all possible […]

Well, no flooding last night, all was well in the tent! But everything was damp. By the time we emerged, around 0930, the sun was up and busy trying to dry the place out. Everything was steaming. We skipped the breakfast hassle and packed to head south on the famous […]

Day 188, Waldport OR – Roseburg OR, 282kms Oct 8th

Weather forecasts… They can be really good and accurate, or… way off! Last night we found a great spot in the boonies, large open area left over from what looked to be a logging stage with piles of wood, great for fires. So we pitched our tent with rising sun […]

Unfortunately our peaceful spot was less peaceful in the middle of the night when the trains thundered past (right on the other side of the river)… Ah well. Around 0830 the sun rose over the hills and gave our tent some much needed sunlight to warm up. We cooked a […]
