We have entered Oregon and are traveling north up the coast... Oregon & Alaska are the only 2 states we have not visited in our many years of travel but now we can add Oregon to our list. What a beautiful state it is with all the lush forest and beautiful coastline. It is just loaded with wonderful State Parks, Light Houses and history. Sadly we managed to get here during rainy season... How long does it last? I don't know... But that is OK we are adventurist and will go out to see the sights we can even in the rain. So here are some photos of our journey to our first stop at Florence, Oregon. We stayed at South Jetty Thousand Trails RV Park which is a membership park. We were tucked deep into the woods and had NO Internet or AT&T phone. A very rustic park with the usual club house, pools and trails to walk.
I never got to take pictures of this park.
lush forest and cute little towns
miles & miles of wonderful coast
As we traveled up the road we saw beautiful beautiful beaches and shorelines
Big rocks formations and lots of driftwood
Bridges that had so much character and style
they were just breathtaking
more great rock formations around every corner
and little seaside towns
We are seeing so many wonderful places and things that I will be sharing with you very soon... I am kind of behind in my post updates due to lousy Internet service. Hopefully we'll have it for a while now.
Until Later... Have FUN, Travel Safe & Enjoy Everyday!
You ask how long the rainy season is. On the Oregon coast, it's 12 months long, but nice sunny days can happen all year long too. Enjoy the coast of Oregon. We have stayed at most of the TTN/NACO parks there -- they can't be called "resorts, usually, but they are all enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteOH...OH .... you made to to my State! It is indeed beautiful ~ all of it. I live on the east side of the Cascades, so it's dry and sunny here on Oregon's High Desert! Safe journeys ....
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so beautiful, Donna!
ReplyDeleteCan you ask Chris if she's been getting my comments on her blog? After I leave one, I always get a bounced email saying message couldn't be sent. I hope the comments are at least getting to her blog!
Justine :o )
Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Jerry and Suzy, the rainy season is nearly 12 months long in that part of Oregon! I am glad you have been able to see it on your trip. Have fun!

Your photos of the coastal Oregon area are wonderful, Donna. It is one of the most beautiful, scenic drives in our country and I am glad you have enjoyed it. Even with the rain!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the view as you travel safely!
Nice photos. We only made it to Oregon once, 16 years ago. I guess we're going to have to do it again one of these years.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Donna..you are getting closer to us!!..are you coming to Canada.via British Columbia??..by any chance..we loved the Oregon Coast..one of our best holidays so far!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks very inviting, this life style you have chosen! I keep telling myself "just a few more years"....... The bridges were quite majestic.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! Oh, this is so beautiful. I've never been to Oregon but have heard how gorgeous it is. I'm just amazed, Donna, at all of territory y'all have covered! Wow! You could publish a book with all of your photos! Are you coming to my party? You could snap in Tassie's mirror!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

I just love the bridges of Oregon - I'll be going down the coast in late August - maybe the rainy season will be done by then, I hope!
