October 16th








The morning after the rainstorm was clear and sunny. We could actually see that Lincoln City was directly on the coast (literally). After finding access to the local beach, the three of us spent some time walking around, and marveling at the ocean before we started a long day of driving.
The coastal highway is awesome for passengers, and a little stressful for the driver! I try to avoid driving as much as possible…it’s nice that there is three of us so we can at least trade off. Really, the pictures don’t do it any justice, but we tried to put a variety on for everyone to enjoy. We spent the whole day driving along the coast of Oregon before finally reaching our destination in Northern California – The Redwood National Park. We camped at the Jedidah Smith Campground. It was so beautiful and quiet. The campground was right on the edge of the Smith River, and is full of gigantic Redwood trees.
Matt and Jeff confirmed our suspicions that we have been carrying a stow-away or two with us from Squamish, BC. An unnamed member of the rodent family has been quite busy caching food in the engine of our car. The boys are going to get to the bottom of this problem tomorrow night when we get some traps.
