| Road Trip! Driving to Lazy Bear |
A few more pictures of Humbug Beach in very southern Oregon. I highly recommend this place anytime you are traveling/camping in the area. It is so nice -- off the hiway, far enough from the major destinations that it wasn't at all crowded. There were only 4 campsites filled, and there were only 5 other people on the beach besides us.
We drove through the darkness down in to California where we stopped for the night at a rest area on 101. After we woke up at 7AM in the rest area, had a quick cup of something hot, drove about 3 miles to the "Avenue of the Giants". This is the must see area for a drive through the California Redwoods. It is about a 15-20 mile side road with plenty of places to pull over and walk through the trees.
At one area, we cooked some breakfast, took a morning swim/bath in the river and got the van stuck in loose gravel. Only a slight set back. We were on our way by late morning. We resisted the urge to stop at the "Mystery Spot" and headed on for Guerneville. We arrived there by 6 PM.

 We liked this beach the best of all the places we saw along the Oregon coast. |
 Did mention Barry is a photographer? He shoots still lifes for toy and doll magazines. He must appreciate the ability to be animated in front of the camera. |

 The camping sites for this park are a short walk up the river. The trail goes underneath the hiway bridge. |

 We went down the rivere for a swim and got stuck in the loose gravel. Jack let a lot of air out of the tire and we easily pulled out. With a cigarette lighter powered compressor, the tires were refilled enough to drive a few miles to a gas station. |
