We've made it to Oregon, via giant redwood tree-lined avenues in the Redwood National Forest Park. The trees get bigger and bigger. I've lived in smaller houses. The rivers run blue/green and we've seen massive fish that could bite your leg off (slight exaggeration, but impressive none the less).
We stayed in Crescent city and woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the crescent bay, and the sound of sealions, barking at the fishermen for food. The coastline is amazing and you can watch the huge waves crash against the beaches and rocks forever. We're travelling across country tomorrow to Klamath Falls area, and then onto Mt. Shasta in California, 14'000ft above sea level.

We've seen lots more wildlife since coming west, Elk male and female, elephant seals, sealions, birds of prey in abundance, heron, pelican, egret, and lots of waders, but no whales, which is what we hope to see today. So we are off to stare at the ocean, thanks again for all the comments on the blog, Happy New Year!
