This was the sunset last Friday evening along the Oregon coast at Windy Point. We had stopped at Meyer's Beach to watch and photograph the sunset and then stopped again here before going on to Brookings where we spent the night. Saturday we went on into northern California and saw the Redwoods at Jedediah Smith State Park and did some hiking there as well. Yesterday we spent a quiet day around Crescent City, California, where we also spent Saturday and Sunday nights, going for a short drive and walking a short trail in the Redwoods. Today we head up the Redwoods Highway to the California-Oregon border and the area of Grant's Pass to see the Cobra Lilies, do some orchid hunting and explore the area around the Rogue River. I've not had opportunity to do much with my photos of the trip, but decided to work on this one and post it as a tribute to my wife, Nancy. Tomorrow is our 44th wedding anniversary and this trip was in celebration of the occasion. She has put up with me and my foibles all these years, is a great mother and grandmother, is my hiking and backpacking companion and best friend, and deserves much more than this acknowledgment. She never balks at sleeping in a pup tent or in the back of the car, is always willing to eat camping and hiking food, enjoys not only the trips we make and the photography we do, but also looking for rocks and shells as souvenirs (where it isn't illegal to take them) and is always ready for the next adventure.
