Wow, this Oregon coastline is beautiful. We talked with some natives today that assured us that we won't see anything as beautiful in California! We left Seaside this morning and traveled US Highway 101 South. We stopped to take some pictures along the way, but in particular we were looking for Devil's Punchbowl State Park. We were not disappointed. It is very beautiful. We went a little farther south and turned off to see a lighthouse. At this stop, we saw Harbor Sea Lions!

Florence is our destination for the night. There is an "Old Florence" and we walked through some shops there. When we parked a few people commented on the WV license plates. Upon further discussion, one of the ladies was born in Logan, WV and Crash knew her sister well. We've journeyed over 3600 miles and he still finds someone he knows! When Hannah was very little, she called Sea Gulls "Puppy Birds." We were eating our evening meal on an outdoor deck at a seafood restaurant, I sent a quick text to Hannah to tell her I was looking at lots of "Puppy Birds." She fired back a quick "jealous." When we returned to the Trike a "Puppy Bird" had very thoroughly "bombed" everything, trike, seat, helmets, and cooler.

We plan to spend the night in Crescent City, CA tomorrow!
