Oregon!
Just when I’d grown tired of pumping my own gas … Oregon to the rescue.
I’d been looking forward to spending extended time in this Pacific Northwest wonderland for years and today we said goodbye to California and crossed into Oregon – one of my favorite places. Almost instantly my mood improved .. the air smells better, the water tastes better, and thanks to Oregon State Statute 480.330, I have an extended break from pumping my own gas.
Today we drove about 2.5hours to north into Brookings, a small(ish) town just across the CA/OR border and settled in at Alfred A. Loeb State Park, a few miles outside of town.
While always subject to change, our plan for now is to remain in the state through end of July; a rough travel outline is pictured below (clockwise).
Wandering With Purpose 
Welcome to Oregon! The most beautiful state in the union.
Thanks Mary. Now, if you could do something about these coastal winds today. 🙂
Let us know when you’re in Portland. If we’re in town, we should meet for a meal or something!
Yes, for sure … that would be fantastic.
We are having a bit of remodel work done to the camper the first half of June (ultimateairstream.com) and have rented a house in a NE Portland neighborhood for three weeks while work is completed, then a post remodel shakedown trip at Champoeg before leaving the area. All in, we will be in Portland/metro May 26/27 – June 24/25. Hopefully we will catch you before your return to Alaska.
Well dangit on the timing! We’ll likely be leaving early May and not back until September. Bah!
