You Call That a Vacation?...

10 Days and 2300 miles later......Jim and Debbie are on their way home. As the week progressed several blog titles were bandied about....as the time came to an end Debbie even suggested "Thank Goodness They're Finally Gone!" But before it was all said and done we all agreed that this trip rivals our first FOSJ motorcycle trip to Utah in 2007 as one of the best.

The first few days we took day-trips to locales close to the RV. Then on Sunday we set out for a 5-day drive south to Crater Lake, then into Redwood National Forest in California before a scenic slow paced drive north on US101 along the Oregon coast returning home. The last few days were more day trips saving Mt Hood for last. There's no way I could tell you about all of the wonderful and beautiful things we saw along the way, but maybe the pics below will tell a little of the story.
