Driving to Oregon - Good Drive today.

Sunday, July 23, 2006

Good day driving today. Left at around 6:30 - and had a good day driving on down the road. In Oregon, I drove down the old part of the highway, where all the waterfalls are. Horsetail, Multnoma Falls and a couple other (though I didn’t stop at all of them.)
At Multnoma, this was the first time I was there when the trail to the top was open, so I had to go up. I got up the first section before I realized that I didn’t have my water bottle with me - but I figured it was ok and continued the hike. Part of the reason for not going back to get it was that there are old ladies, even pregnant ladies climbing this trail, so no problem! It wasn’t the easiest hike, but made it ok.  Some photos from up there for you all.
Next I decided which way to get to where I was going, and ended up deciding to go through Portland, then up 26 to 101, then south to the campground. This was to give me more time on the coast, and was a good trip.
I did stop at the Air Museum, which was closed, but was a neat stop - at least I was able to see Darryll’s new plane.
Made it down in good time, roughly 6:30 at the campground, glad to get out of the car.
Watched the sun go down over the Pacific ocean.
