We made it to Keizer, Oregon, home of my Dad and Carolyn, my stepmom, at around 10 PM last night. They let us stay in their RV for the night, which afforded us a great nights' sleep in anticipation of the many nights of tent camping to follow. On our way down the I-5 corridor we were treated with sunny weather and periodic views of the Puget Sound, Mount St Helens, and Mount Hood. Near Centralia, WA we stopped for dinner at a McMenamins pub (http://www.mcmenamins.com/), which was a treat for me personally as I'd always heard a lot about the pubs but never been. It was a quirky, fun environment with excellent food and drinks. While it set us back by over an hour, is was well worth it. Plus we missed Portland traffic!
This morning we are up early, getting ready to go. We'll stop at Target and Fred Meyer this morning before we hit the road to load up on groceries and other essentials. From there, we are driving all the way to the Redwood National Forrest, hoping to fit in a quick hike in the afternoon. We hope to make it to our hotel at Fort Bragg by dark.
We are having a fabulous time so far!
