Have been in Oregon for the past week, at an Escapee park. Need new truck tires and wanted to get them here, where there is no sales tax. Also, got my bike in Eugene and want to have it serviced. It has been rainy here, but I am enjoying it. Would not feel this way if I had been here 5 months or so, but it is a nice change after being in desert areas so much.
A lot of Oregon dark-eyed junco’s here (top picture). Put some sunflower seeds out for birds where I can watch them. Bottom two pictures were taken through my rv window. The first one is a young Oregon dark-eyed junco; the second, a spotted tohee.
The way here: Took highway 1 to Morro Bay State Park where I stopped for the night. It was really crowded due to spring break. Crossed over to highway 101 until going back to highway 1 through Santa Cruz. Wanted to stop for the night at Half Moon Bay State Park, but it was full. Ended up stopping in a pullout near Stinson Beach on highway 1. There was so much traffic and I was so tired, I had to stop. Next day crossed back over to good ole highway 101. Pressed on to a rest stop in Oregon for the night, arriving at my destination the next day.
Wish California would have more rest stops along highway 101. Driving from the Los Angeles area to Santa Barbara, there are none. The first one is in the Gaviota Beach area and it is usually full.
Would like to circle back to the Eureka area (pictured below) for a couple of weeks when I am through here. Spring break should be over then!
