Trying to play catch up. We have not been able to post pictures for quite a while because of poor internet. These pictures are seriously out of order.

A tour of the Talamook cheese factory in Tallamook Oregon. We did buy some cheese from their store.

Sea Lions along the Oregon coast

We visited an air museum in Talamook Oregon. They built huge hangars to house blimps used during world war two. The hangars are the worlds largest wooden building.

Lots of interesting birds along the coast. They are not all Seagulls. We walked along the beach, water extremely cold.

This river was running just behind our motor home  in a campground in Lincoln City Oregon. Fishermen were catching Salmon in the fast moving water just behind us.

Happy hour with Pricilla and Glenn, our friends from Vancouver. They drove down in their motor home along with Brooks and Mary in their motor home. We will start heading for Vancouver in the morning.

Fish cleaning in the campground fish house.

We are visiting many craft breweries. The beer in Oregon and Washington is very good.

Brooks and Mary sampling Talamook ice cream.

Touring along the Oregon coast.

A fishing boat had just come in and we were able to watch them clean their catch.

The Oregon coast is very rugged. The weather on this day was cool and foggy. Not the place for us to live, but a great place to visit.

An example of what Brooks thinks of some of the micro brews.

On the golf course near Coos Bay, great picture with deer in the background. 

After golf Tom and Ango hosted a dinner for us at their home. They are very nice folks and have a beautiful home on a lake.

At the Mills Casino in Coos Bay Oregon. They have a very nice RV park. Brooks, Mary, Pricilla and Glenn had just arrived. They traveled down to meet us in their motor homes. We had a nice visit with friends that evening.

Had to drive thru this tree in the Redwoods. It is a tourist trap but it needed to be done.

THE REDWOOD FOREST

Pictures do not do describe these giants. It was breathtaking to see the size of these trees.

It was an easy drive along about 8 miles of forest road. Around every corner there was a bigger tree.

It was quite dark and damp at the forest floor. There were several streams running nearby. 

This hollow spot had lots of bees flying in and out.

Seems like every few miles along the coast road there is another river running into the ocean. I guess that is why the Salmon fishing is so good here

Never get tired of looking at these giant trees.

Belinda looks pretty small along side of these.

Lots of moss and ferns growing in the dark forest.

THE RIDE FROM CARSON CITY TO CRESCENT CITY CA.

It was a beautiful drive over some rugged country. Lots of scenic highway that was very curvy and steep road.

Tunnels thru the mountains. This was hwy. 70 that followed the Feather River, the rail road was on one side of the river and the road on the other.

The highway passes thru Quincy CA.

The river has several power dams on it.

We spent the night in Redding CA. on the way to Redwood National Park.

More scenic curvy road from Redding CA. to Crescent City, CA.

Mt. Shasta near Redding CA>

This was a worthwhile drive, but the motor home worked hard.

Corkscrew curves.

Getting close.

Our first look at Redwoods, these are small.

Our first look at the ocean.

A RIDE AROUND LAKE TAHOE

Lake Tahoe is beautiful, we took about a 5 hr. drive all the way around the lake.

The Truckee river runs out of Lake Tahoe and into downtown Reno.

Downtown Reno NV, it seemed very quiet there.

Belinda's sister drove up from the Los Angeles are to visit for three days. They had a good visit and we all had a good time. We stayed in the RV park at the Carson City West casino and Belinda's sister and husband stayed in the Casino hotel. It was very convenient.

Leaving Reno headed back to Carson City.
