Oregon Coast Lighthouse
Traveling along the Oregon Coast there are still many operating lighthouses. The air is misty which accounts for the hazy appearance. 
Winchester Bay
Winchester Bay was very beautiful. Our campground sat out on a peninsula in a small bay. The lows were in the 40s, the high was 62 and the wind blew constantly at 30 to 40 mph.We loved the area but after a week of freezing and getting cabin fever we decided to head for warmer weather.

Redwoods Ntl Park
The Redwoods are GIGANTIC. They are enormous around and extremely tall. Unlike the Sequoias the whole forest is filled with Redwoods. The forest is very lush with other trees, ferns, and moss grows everywhere. If a tree dies or is damaged by lightening new trees and ferns will grow on top the stump. These pictures were taken in the Jedediah Smith Grove.

Rolls Royce of RV Parks
We've spent this past week at this terrific RV park in Red Bluffs which is 23 miles south of Redding, Ca. It opened last Aug and has every amenity imaginable. We've done tons of relaxing, but it's time for a new adventure. Tomorrow were are going to the Redwoods. It will take us about 4.5 hours.
Yosemite National Park
We left the Pollock campground at Three Rives and headed to Yosemite. Gary decided we should take a "shortcut". We took a road with extremely high grades up and down and terribly sharp curves. It was only 43 miles long, but took 3.5 hours. Towing the 5th wheel up and down with steep cliffs was a hair raising experience. We dubbed it the "Road From Hell". Yosemite was worth the ride. It was extremely beautiful with many waterfalls. El Capetian was massive. If you look closely you can see two climbers.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon
Sequoias are larger than you could imagine. They only grow between 6000 ft and 8500 ft elevation. Some are over 2800 years old. We also seen this coyote along side the road. It was an overcast rainy day. Next stop Yosemite.
Pismo Beach
Our summer began at Pismo Beach. Every morning we walked the beach as far as we could and then we walked into the little town. The campground was great. We loved the beach and could have stayed the rest of the summer.
Palm Desert Getaway
Dianna & Bill invited us for a week in Palm Desert. The temperature was over 100 everyday. We never had so much pool time. We took a tram up the mountain to cool off. The floor of the tram rotated 360* and it raised 3000 ft. The temp dropped almost 50 degrees. It was a good relaxing week.

In the Beginning....
47 1/2 years ago these 2 cute kids were married. They now have 4 children, 26 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. Their lives have spanned from Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" to Barak O'Bama's "Trillion Dollar Give-away". Music like Bee Bop, Jazz, and Boogie Woogie are sounds of the past.
From party line-dial-up telephone to cell phones in every pocket, black and white 3 channel t.v. to 100+ high definition & blue tooth t.v., typewriters to keyboards and hand-held computers with web cams, from "tenting" on their honeymoon to cruising and traveling in the 5th wheel, these 2 have gone from diapers to depends and still have a smile on their faces:)
