Ponderosa pine trees before the mountain pass to the Willamette Valley
A lovely break at Mark's sister's farm in Mt. Angel where we stayed for two nights
On the road again, this time in the coastal mountain range. The wet canopy of trees lining the road has always made me feel safe. Quite a difference from Central Oregon's stubby juniper trees...
Arriving at Whalen Island, our very wet campsite along the estuary....

looks like a fun trip. I laughed a little at the rainy campsite. Our vacation camping was spent in some pretty good downpours :) It isn't fun if there isn't an adventure ;)
Have a great day!!

Welcome back. Thanks for sharing pictures. Hope you had a great time! Does look a little soggy though.
No matter how squishy I'm sure you had a wonderful time! Looking forward to all the photos of your adventures :) These progression pictures are great, such an amazing difference in trees alone in the same state!
What an adventure! There is something really magical about sunflower fields-- I bet there are faeries in there for sure!
Glad you had a good time..I hope it wasn't wet all the time..
Lovely roadside pix! Hope the rain didn't last your entire trip!!
I don't like camping in the rain, for one thing in the high country of Colorado, it is so dangerous because of the lightning...but then it's cold and damp, fires are harder to start, fingers freeze trying to set up tent, fishing for brook trout isn't the best...but when it clears...oh,the majesty!
Camping in Iowa...NOT!!!
Have a great vacation!

im jealous, i want to go on a trip! love your photos, my husband probably would of got sick of hearing me so, "OOH look at THAT tree!"
I'm glad you had a great time! I think some of your readers don't realize that us "desert rats" actually enjoy going over to the Oregon coast just to get rained on :)
Jo-
Isn't that the truth! I was so happy to see rain after last weekend's 106 degree weather.
Yippee!
I hope the weather got better! Camping in the rain...You guys weren't in a tent, right? I would have had to pack it up and head home :)
gosh, all that amazing greenery! looks like heaven!
yes - despite the rain!
nice pics! Looks relaxing..even with the rain!
what great pictures, I hope you had a good time and that it stopped raining at the campsite for you
:)
I hope the rain cleared up a bit...although I know you were all nice and cozy in that sweet trailer of yours.
Despite the wet, it looks like a beautiful spot!
I love road trips. I yearn to see your landscape some day.
Welcome back :D
Love those pine trees. I wish I could go on a campervan like you and Xue, sounds too much fun! Must be real cosy when it rains..maybe not fun because cant get out. Cant wait to see the balance of the trip. have a great weekend :D hugssss..
Hey Charmaine! You went on a road trip and didn't visit US??? lol We will definitely be contacting you for advice once we can actually get away for a vacation. Can't wait to see you in September...and hopefully in October too! We have something very special planned for our season finale.
