September 20 - Crescent City, CA





Barb - We decided to use the nice weather to drive north on Hwy 101 to southern Oregon coastal beach areas, state park turnouts, and a couple of resort towns. The Jeep went as far as the towns of Gold Beach and Brookings and the Samuel Boardman, Pistol Beach and Cape Sebastian State Beach corridors. Oregon's coast area feels different from California in that you may be in forest one moment and along the beach the next. At Cape Sebastian especially, the beach drives were uphill before going down and in deep forest! I was wishing that the gray whales were migrating south now in the Pacific Ocean as we found several perfect viewing points. But they don't start swimming south until November :(

Ed - Another nice day. I wonder when we will get payback for all of the nice days. I hope it is not ice and snow on the way home. Of course October is a bit early for that. We walked on a few beaches that had dark brown sand and large waves. We had a nice day!
