Yosemite to Redwoods to Oregon- June 25th-26th

North America » United States » Oregon » Medford » hotel June 27th 2009

Long drive on Thursday. Got pretty as I started heading north. Arrived at the hostel in the Redwoods in time to take a shower and watch the sunset on the beach across from the hostel. Woke up early on Friday and drove back south about twenty miles to the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. Beautiful! The mist was enshrouding the grove, and the sun was shining through the trees. Drove up north about thirty miles to Crescent City after I walked through the grove. Stopped to take a picture of the lighthouse there. Drove about 10 miles northeast after that and stopped at the Reed-Simpson Grove. Walked the loop there and continued on northeast to the Stout Grove. Walked around there and headed into Oregon. Stopped at the Oregon Caves Monument and took the 90 minute walk ... read more

We arrived in Fortuna, CA after spending a great day riding on winding roads and through Redwood Forests and along the northern coast of California. After supper, we sat in the hot tub for a while then settled in for a few episodes of Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel. Today we went north to Redwood National Park and then Northwest to Medford, OR. We stopped at AAA and picked up some maps that should get us through the rest of our trip. Grace and I were both in kind of a lousy mood this morning when we started out and had a few sharp words with each other, but I think the Redwoods kind of took the stress out of the situation. We were soon happy and holding hands. After spending some time at the Redwood ... read more

I finished my business in Medford and drove up to Salem today. What a beautiful state! It's so freaking green. I was thinking the cows don't know how lucky they are with all the lush grass to eat. It rained all the way...guess that's why it's so green. Had a few more human encounters...people don't seem too happy here. I don't know why.... read more

I flew into Medford, Oregon from Witchita, Kansas yesterday. It was a hell of a travel day because I worked in Sterling, Kansas the night before, and there wasn't time to sleep before the 7:30am flight. Then there was a 4 hour layover in Denver, and finally, a 3 hour flight to Medford. Luckily, I got last night off...don't think I could have worked anyway after being up for over 30 hours. My first impressions of Medford-wet, green and so far the people don't seem too friendly. I hope that changes, but I'll only be here for another day or two.... read more
