oregon & northern california




Fleeing the Vancouver "summer", our two week 'vacation' lead us to travel southward to hunt for some much needed sun!
We embarked on a road trip, of which the first stage entailed driving down the US-101 along the coast of Oregon and Northern California. Windswept seascapes, amazing bridges and of-course the giant redwoods were amongst the highlights.




Not an engineering marvel like some others along the road, the bridge in Florence, Oregon has a nostalgic and quasi gothic appeal. Photo taken from our favourite coffee spot "Bill's Auto".

Giant Redwoods - did you know minute crustaceans live in the tops of these trees?
