We spent that night in Bodega Bay, although that sounded better than it was. Maybe we just missed the good stuff there....

I was hoping to try the USAL road down to the Lost Coast, but had been warned that it was late in the season and the road was nearly impassable. We were pressed for time anyway, so we regretfully passed the turn-off. Perhaps next time.

We made our way to the Oregon coast, a sentimental favorite of mine. The drive up among the numerous lighthouses, sand dunes, rocky shoreline and state parks is almost more than the senses can take. View after view after view.... it's amazing.

I had secretly arranged a special treat for us on the last evening of this stretch, before the family holiday and the drive back home. I figured any woman who would happily endure this type of trip for 3 weeks, deserved something special. It was a great finish to one of our best trips.

It was a wonderful trip through some beautiful country. The truck and camper performed flawlessly. From scenic trails in Utah and Death Valley, to the terrifying traffic on the Las Vegas strip and up the million curves on the west coast, this outfit proves again and again to be my ideal set up for long distances and remote travel.
