Day Three Medford Oregon to Coos Bay Oregon 246 miles
We drove from Medford Oregon to Crescent City California on Highway 99. The drive was beautiful. Mostly pine trees until we got to the redwoods. Occasionally we passed ranches with beef cattle. Also in and out of a few small towns. We did have to wait about twenty minutes for the pilot car to escort us passed where they were chip sealing the road.
Shortly after reaching California we entered the Redwood National and State Park. Then the trees got huge! Connie had never seen redwoods before so they were a real treat. We stopped at one of the turnouts to take pictures.
On to Crescent City where we found a wonderful little restaurant called Crescent Seafood. They had an incredible menu that made the decision very difficult. Our waitress had on an interesting sweatshirt with an octopus on the back. She told us it came from the Rogue Gift Store in Gold Beach. So when we got there both Marilyn and Connie bought one. We spent the remainder of the day on Highway 101.
Driving along the coast was beautiful as usual. Very windy however so Rob really had to concentrate on his driving. The teardrop trailer is small but you can feel it especially when there is a crosswind.
