So here is a summary of our trip from the UK including costs.

Flights.

Having repeatedly checked costs on-line over a few weeks to familiarise myself with average flight costs, I recognised a...

Thanks Lifey. It looks as though we won't be trippin in the US this year, so I will look forward to following your 2016 Field report adventures !

Today was the day we fly back home to the UK, it's always a strange feeling, the disappointment in knowing the trip is at an end, running alongside the pleasure of soon getting to see...

It would be my pleasure Keith, could you organise a whip round for funding mate ? ;-) Haha.

Dave.

[The only trip I have booked at the moment for this year, is with a slightly different mode of...

October 2nd.

We woke around 7:30am and after an hour or so of grabbing breakfast and showering we took a walk around the sand hills on which the campground is located. This area was once an...

Another beautiful morning welcomed us so we took a walk around Redwood river resort and down to the Eel river that ran below before breakfast and then it was back on the road heading...

We mentioned lunch in the Victorian town of Ferndale and it's wonderful homes and shop fronts that are taken care of with great pride by the towns folk so I though I would share a few pictures. The...

Unfortunately not Lifey. No matter how hard I tried I just could not fit that section of CA1 into our trip this time around, but it's another one on the 'For the future' list. As with most of our...

The Elk Creek RV resort certainly lived up to it's name ! On opening the door this morning to the familiar sound of Elk mating season, there was a big herd of them strung out...

That's a cool link Harry and yes this one was several miles long. To be perfectly honest I didn't know these cloud formations were named as such, we just let our imagination run wild after seeing...

Here's another shot from the road of the 'Tsunami cloud'. At times it really did look like a wave to the eye. [Glad it wasn't!]

Jessie M Honeyman SP is just north of Dunes City and unsurprisingly, the sand dunes are it's main attraction but also has 2 freshwater lakes. It is separated from the ocean by 2...

Back again, it's been busy ! Thanks Harry, we were very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.

We continued south through Depoe Bay to Rocky Creek State park where we took a little...

We woke this morning to the sound of the ocean waves crashing onto the beach although we couldn't see it, so it was time for a walk. It wasn't far down a path to Benson Beach where...

Nice pictures Harry and I especially liked the Marshmallow farm. Now about that bridge you have for sale,......

Dave.

Hi Harry and thank you for the Kudos. We loved the views from Larch mountain and got to see the 5 peaks, but the light was far from ideal for capturing images. I still wouldn't mind seeing yours...

Yep, Louise is our very own special 'Food Guru' !



A wise traveller once told us to carry $2 bills for tips and such things as they are rarely used and more memorable to the recipient. ;-) ...

We drove through there George, no Tulips were humped ! Having done a little research I found this explanation.



Perhaps I should mention that it refers to 'Poling' their canoes along the...

Having enjoyed a relaxed pace yesterday, we were up early and raring to get started on the fun packed day that lay ahead. There was a touch of frost about on this bright and crispy...

I know, I am just too considerate to the rest of the crew, they like a little time out ! ;-)

As we drove up Hurricane Ridge road the cloud was swirling around and all we could do was hope it would not set in. We arrived at the Hurricane Ridge visitor centre and...

I think it had been bored and stroked George with the use of forged pistons. Not sure if the block could be worked to make it 7.9 liters, but I am fairly sure that's the figure he mentioned. A full...

September 26th.

The sky's had cleared this morning and we was hoping it would stay that way for our visit to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National park. We first made our way back down to the...

Thanks Donna, I don't know what I was thinking ! I obviously wasn't, other than hearing some Americans pronounce it 'Ran-yeah,' where as we called it 'Rainier', and it was ! lol. It was only the...

September 25th.

We woke this morning to a grey murky day with drizzle in the air, I guess it had to happen one day, we were just hoping it would be while we were in the rain forest, if at all. It...
