Serious Washington coast at La Push on the peninsula.

 

 

The river mouth behind the Jetty.

 

And the welcoming committee of 1.

 

A young bald eagle.

 

 

We’re not tired of shrimp/crab melt sandwiches, halibut, or Rainer cherries from roadside stands either.

 

Ocean City State Park

 

 

Now we’re in Washington.

Another trail to the beach.

 

This one a little longer.

 

 

 

Not so cold today.  Less wind.

 

 

Met a guy at a rest stop.  He’s touring down the coast from Olympia to Crescent City in his 1955 Triumph TR2.  A trip he makes every year.,

 

A classy ride.

 

 

We’re not tired of clam chowder either.

 

 

Nehalem Bay State Park

The beach is right over the dunes.

 

 

 

Brrr.  It’s still blowing.  Back to camp.

 

 

We’re still not tired of fish and chips.

 

Beverly Beach State Park

A camp in the forest.

 

 

A walk to the beach on the other side of the highway.

 

 

 

Brrr.  60 degrees and a gale!

Back to the woods.

 

Skunk Cabbage.

 

If you step on it or squeeze it with your hand, it smells like a skunk.

 

I didn’t.

The Oregon Coast is ridiculous

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And farther down the road

It’s important to brake for pedestrians

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve moved on down the road

 

 

About fifteen miles.

It’s hard to get a campsite at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.  It’s so popular.  But we managed a spot for one night and took it.  It’s an amazing place.  And the one campsite that was open was very nice.

 

 

Lots of big trees.

 

Unmolested.

 

A picture of Jesse.

 

And a river.

 

 

Evening light.

 

 

Charming street name, right?

 

 

 

It’s for real.
