On to Gold Beach

Monday March 27th....
We are off, leaving Medford at about 9:30 am and heading towards Gold Beach. We travled through Grants Pass and a few cool little towns along the way and the ride was wonderful. Smooth and well... a bit windy for the girls on the trip. We stopped in the redwoods to walk a bit and to check out all the beauty that those big trees hold. We walked into the redwoods along a well built trail with benches and bridges that took you into the forest about 1/2 mile. The amazing thing about the walk was... we only walked a bit into the woods when all you could hear were birds and bugs and the sounds of the trees. It was really cool and offered us some beautiful scenery as well as welcome walk away from the car for a few minutes.

After leaving the redwoods it was on to Gold Beach and our first sight of the ocean after about a year. It was just as we remembered it and just beautiful.

After checking in to our lodge, Brenda made a fire in the fireplace and then we journeyed down to the beach. It was amazing! There was a crab boat picking up it's pods/pots don't know what exactly they are. The Coast Guard was flying around and the sound was awsome as usual.

Now we are getting ready to cook some hot dogs over the fire and then roast some marshmallows to top off a great day. I may walk down to watch a storm com in tonight, not sure yet.

There are plenty of pictures of the trip up on our Flickr page. The link is on the left side of the page as usual. Tomorrow there will be the first of the Ocean pictures.

Yes Mom, I am wearing the hat!

Later...
