We continued down the coast and headed into Oregon. One of our favorite places. It was actually on a road trip to Oregon two and a half years ago that Andrew and I had our first romantic moment. We retraced a few of our steps from the last trip and discovered a few new places. It was also a place I spent a couple of summers of my childhood with my parents. We had a lot of 'wow' moments which seem to happen almost daily on a trip of this kind!
Lunch spot on the Ocean.
Cannon Beach. Home to the Goonies and our first official police encounter when they kicked us out of the parking lot for camping. They were kind enough to let us sleep till 6am so it wasn't all bad.
Oswalt State Park. Or Smugglers Cove. We used to frequent this quaint little surfing spot as kids, and it is always a pleasure to come back to it even if they did close down the walk in campground.
Close to the largest sea lion caves in the world, the ocean was packed with these huge barking mammals!
We made it! The 'Promise Land'
Morning Dew
Being Zen in the Redwood Forest
Does this make us official hippies? Either way... we drove through a freakin tree!!
The biggest tree around. Literally. A circumference of 64 feet! You would need a few more people to give this tree the hug it deserved
And...LUNGE
The hugeness of these trees was truly overwhelming.
Those are some big friggen roots
BANANA slug... or to anyone on the ski team for the last year NANNNERRRR slug
Well the views keep astounding us everyday. And everyday brings something new. It is incredible to see what our world has to offer and we are not even a quarter of the way done our year long trek. Our time in the Redwood Forests gave both of us hope for the future and the resilience of our planet.
