Sea Lion Caves
 |
| The Sea Lion Caves. You go inside the building and they have an elevator that takes you down to the ocean level where the caves and sea lions live. This day they were all out in the ocean feeding . Darn. |
This is Bandon, Oregon - the old part of town.
 |
| Some men were crabbing on the pier so I took a picture of them. They were too little to keep they said. In a little cage in the middle they put pieces of chicken which the crabs really like. |
 |
| This young seagull was tame. I walked right up to him and took his picture. Young ones are dark like this and they are very noisy too. |
 |
| Just a cute little fishing boat |
Finally we are in California. Unreal
 |
| This is Highway 101 - a beautiful, scenic drive |
 |
| A real working lighthouse. We climbed to the top and the guide told us how the light works. It was really windy but well worth the time spent going inside. Cape Blanco in Oregon |
 |
| This was a picture I just had to take to prove we really were there. Really! |
Reminiscing Mission Days
 |
| Dad drove right to the apartment where he lived while serving his mission here 52 years ago. A guy came out and wondered what we were doing and Dad told him he lived here 52 years ago and the guy said "wow, is this place THAT old?" He really had such a good time visiting here. |
 |
| While serving in Crescent City he helped do some building on the new chapel. It has been added onto since then but he sure enjoyed seeing it. We attended church here and he talked with his Branch President's wife and they had a good visit. |
A little overcast Crescent City
 |
| This is the seaside at Crescent City. A little more rocky here |
 |
| We were at a RV Park right by the ocean. It was cloudy there most of the time. But we still had fun |
 |
| These were just a short way from our Rv park and they were barking way into the night. I can't imagine what they were talking about all night long. We could walk close to them and they just kept sleeping. |
More Redwoods
 |
| Having lunch by a river in the Redwoods. |
 |
| Driving through the Redwoods. We look like a little Hot Wheels |
 |
| This is a burned tree and Dad is clear down at the end. |
The Joseph H.Stewart State Park - near Crater Lake
 |
| This is the Joseph Stewart State Park on the way to Crater Lake. |
 |
| I see we have run out of room on this page so click OLDER POSTS and the rest of the pictures are there. |
Crater Lake
Crater Lake pictures. It was a beautiful sunny day. We were lucky because two days after that they had snow there.
 |
| Crater Lake information |
 |
| We are on our way home. We spent a day here and then drove to Madras for the night and then drove home the next day. Totally filled with wonderful moments together but a little eager to get home too. We have seen some great parts of our country and I don't see any reason for taking a vacation overseas when we have so much to see and do right here in our back yard. It was a fun trip without any accidents or mishaps - counting our blessings for that. Dad is a good driver. |
