We are now at Walport and the wind come stadily off the Pacific and bends all the trees tward the land.
The beach here is 200 yards wide and NO drift wood.

It was too rainy in the redwood so we heades north. we stayed at Sunset Bay state park and paddled in the protected bya and even ventured out into the Pacific because it was so calm.

From the top of the cliffs you can just see the lighthouse across the bays.

you could ever hear the sealions barking in the distance.

We went down to a small beach and decided to climb this rock ridge.


After gold beach we went up the mountain and camped next to the Rouge River.

Gold beach was covered with drift wood and cars even drove on the beach.

We stayed  at the Redwood National Park for a few days and Sally got to hug her Redwood tree.
We left Idaho and cut across Oregon on the way to Redwood NP in California. We stopped at Crater Lake on the way.

Sally and Queenie both enloyed the snow.

We are now in the town of Cascade Id. at Sugarloaf camp ground over looking Lake Cascade. It is a sunny valley with the snow caped mountains across the lake.

We went paddeling on the lake yesterday. There was no wind and the mountains reflected in the water.
We will be here until Sunday the 17th and then on to Oregon.
The camp ground here is called last chance and is at 5780 ft. It is very wooded and the streeam rushes by the camp. The temp in the day time is only 56 and at night it was 33. A little too cold for us so down the mountain we go.

we are now at Payett Lake in the town of McCall staying at Ponderosa State park.

there are lots of huge pine trees.


lots of hiking trails and fantastic views.


The campground is very busy and most sites are reserved for the weekend so we are moving to a forrestry site up in the mountains.

We visited Canyon lands and Arches NPs and got lots of pics but Queenie was not allowed out of the truck so we just did an auto tour.






The GRAND CANYON

When we first got to the Grande Canyon we could not get near the edge it felt like we would fall off the edge.

After a while we got a little more relaxed and were able to look over the rim.
