After spending a wonderful month in
California, we finally exited the state and rolled into Oregon today. We’re sticking to the scenic coastal route for
a few days, and enjoyed more spectacular ocean views as the fog lifted. Of course it started to rain today. It seems that I cannot enter the state of
Oregon and not encounter rain. Today,
the rain was mostly a fine mist, however, so it really didn’t stop us from
exploring.

We stopped at so many overlooks that I simply
lost count. It was hard to take our eyes
from the steep cliffs, sea stacks, twisted trees and sweeping Pacific views. Part of the drive cut through the forests of
the Coast Range, and this area was also beautiful. We also saw more evidence of the damage caused
by the recent storms. Entire sections of
the highway had collapsed, and much reconstruction was ongoing.

We stopped in the small town of Gold
Beach for lunch and enjoyed fresh crab and fish. We also purchased several pieces of freshly-smoked
salmon and sable fish, also known as black cod, to take with us for later. We just can’t seem to get our fill of seafood.

There can never be enough seafood. Just ask Kitty! (When she's not busy herding goats) :-) LV
ReplyDeleteLV, Kitty complains that she rarely gets seafood, except in treats. Canned cat food is stinky enough, but the seafood varieties are just not RV-friendly! Who would have thought that Kitty would end up hearding goats. It's no telling what her next assignment might be. Sarah
