Headed to the Coast

We made a quick stop at South Twin Lake, hoping to find some breakfast and revisit a favorite camp ground that holds a lot of special memories.  The resort restaurant was closed, so after a quick walk down to the shoreline, we departed with growling tummies......

From South Twin, we headed to the highway and traveled west to Eugene and Florence.  There was a lot of evidence of past forest fires along the way.



                                                                               

                                                                                 The scenery along our route was diverse and very pretty......                                                                                   
    

The coastal forests have an entirely different appearance than those of Central Oregon

After maneuvering through the Eugene area, we headed to Florence where we spend the night listening to the chilly coastal rain and dreaming of our cozy home.  We decided that  travels around Oregon probably was best postponed until summer, and headed "back to the barn". 

Our trip was enjoyable and allowed us to work through some of the details of camper traveling.  We look forward to hitting the road in June...back to South Dakota for July 4th celebration with Joe, Kristin, Jocelyn and the Aberdeen family.  Our route will take us up to Canada and across into BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan and then down into the Dakotas
