~~~Update on Events While We had no Internet~~~

As you know AT&T Internet service has been lacking in many of the areas we have been traveling through... It would take me forever to post each stop so I am combining some of them on the next couple of post post. Thanks to all my friends and followers for visiting me . Our first stop in Oregon was Florence.


In Florence we stayed at South Jetty Thousand Trails Park and it was not too terribly bad. We were so excited because all of the places we are going to be in Oregon is on the beautiful coast. This is our first time visiting Oregon and we'll be back!



One of the tourist spots we hit was the Sea Lion Caves about 35 miles north of Florence. It was so much fun seeing the hundreds of seals in the caves and hearing them Bark. They were quite stinky & loud.







We also visited Cape Perpetual
Situated between Newport and Florence along Highway 101, Cape Perpetua has incredible views, magnificent forests, and all-out beauty in many forms. From the Cape Perpetua Viewpoint,you can get a full view of the area below, including the many tidepools, the Spouting Horn, and the Devil's Churn. A hike down below - heading out from the Interpretive Center provides up-close views of these spectacular sights. Finally, the Spouting Horn is a must-see. The higher and more frequent the waves, the more likely the Spouting Horn will be going strong.

Our journey up the coast of Oregon - First stop Florence

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.
