Day 20 ( A travel day ) North Bend, OR - Eureka, CA 168.9 miles New Total = 4,478.1 miles
Started the day again with fog.  It's been this way since we arrived in WA and started down the coast.

Evidence of the importance of logging still visible. Saw our first cranberry bogs & Ocean Spray sign.  The coastline continues to be breathtaking, so different than the sandy beaches of the East.  The Salmon are running and as we pass the rivers and bays, there are multitudes of small boats as everyone wants salmon for their freezer. Passed the highest bridge in OR this morning (345'). (sorry no picture). Passed into CA at about 11:30 AM & 9955 on my odometer. Stopped at Wilson cove along the ocean for lunch.  Took a 30 mile side trip off of Rte 101through the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway.  Our first exposure to the giant Redwoods. Words cannot describe their immensity. Maybe a few pictures can.
That's Jan!







The camper is 20' for comparison.













At the end of the 30 mile drive through these redwood groves we stopped by the road to view a bull Elk and his harem feeding by the side of the road.  I gotta say, he's a better man than I, handling 20 females!

The Master

...and his Harem!
