Oregon - Day 4

Day 4 - Portland & Lincoln City - August 6, 2018

Today we started with doughnuts.



Followed by exploring Portland with the Hewitsons. I wish SLC had a nice river or waterfront. 



Stopped by Powell's books. 





Found an urban elephant. 


Picked up loads of pizza from Costco, then drove to our beach house on the coast. 


It was time to party! And to celebrate the official adoption of some cute kids!


With a piƱata no less!







Alison really put her back into it!



Then a quick walk down to the beach. 

Tomorrow we visit the lighthouse and science center.

Our first stop today was to church in Klamath Falls, then onto Crater Lake National Park.




Watching a volcano demonstration that shows how the lake was formed. 


Now onto loads and loads of photos from all around the lake. 










I'm not sure what's going on here...







The obligatory animal head photo. Sloth, bear, duck, horse and pig.

Oregon - Day 2

Day 2 - Reno to Klamath Falls - August 4, 2018

Today we journeyed from Reno, Nevada through California, ending up in Klamath Falls, Oregon. 

First stop was Tony's fruit stand.



We made our way to a new National Park, Lassen Volcanic National Park. 



We stopped by the stinky Sulphur Works. 



I made Alison take some photos by this lovely rock. 



Lake Helen. 


We found a spot to take a short hike through the woods.  Eating peaches from the earlier fruit stand. 


Imagine me juggling these big cones. 


Sharing a peach. 


We hit up a Black Bear Diner for dinner, luckily it was close to the Mt Shasta supercharger. 

Tomorrow we visit Crater Lake.

Oregon - Day 1

Day 1 - SLC to Reno - August 3, 2018

No onto our next trip! We were crazy to schedule another road trip just a week after we returned home from Banff.  This one to the Oregon coast. 


Our first charging stop was in Wendover.  Lucky for the girls there was a park nearby.


Lyla playing in the playplace in the armpit of America.


Wrapping up the night with a late charge. 

Tomorrow we continue on to Lassen Volcanoes National Park.
