After we got out back to the car around 3pm, we immediately headed north to Oregon. We drove up the California coast along US 101. More than once we had to rapidly pull over to check out some of the gorgeous views along the way (like the above photo). And somewhere along the way we saw a family of elk just hanging out along the side of the road.
We made it to Medford around 10pm and, after much needed showers, we made a night of it out in Medford which, surprisingly to a Californian, had beautiful night weather.
Right now we're just soaking in the civilization, uploading photos, and figuring out where to stay at Crater Lake (hopefully we can get camping reservations!).
To check out some highlight photos of the last week, check out this photobucket album I just set up here.
Hey hope you have a great time at Crater Lake. I was just there about this time last year. Last year the place was utterly overrun with millions of magnificent orange butterflies. The air was just soupy with them. They got stuck in all the car grilles & windshield wipers. But it was really a sight to see that many creatures all flocking at once. Hope it's an annual migration & you guys get a chance to see it too.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to Kenya tomorrow. Hope the rest of your road trip goes well!
