Moving Day today. Our original plan was to move from Sutherlin, OR to Redding, CA which we would use as a base to explore Lassen Volcanic National Park. Unfortunately the park is closed because of wildfire.
Our new plan took us west on WA 38 along the Umpqua River
then south on US 101 past the Oregon Dunes National Recreational Area
and south between the Cascade Ranges and the Pacific Ocean.
Somewhere south of Port Orford we found the perfect spot for lunch.
For remainder of our 5 1/2 hour, 250-mile drive the US 101 hugged the coast between the Klamath Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
At the California border we declared we had no plants, fresh fruits, or firewood and were waved through with a smile.
We encountered our usual road work stops but were delayed only a couple of minutes. Most of the time we drove through coastal cities and towns and enjoyed views of the beautiful ocean.
About 30 miles into California we found our new home for the next two weeks.
From here we will be exploring Redwoods National Park.
Hoping the smoke doesn't come to the coast,
Louise and Duane
