Our recent camping run up the coasts of Northern California and Oregon could have been called the 'same as it ever was tour'. We revisted several old favorites and added a couple new ones as well. Port Garibaldi, Oregon (our furthest Northern point) was our destination this trip and after back-to-back visits, it's now firmly entrenched as a must stop. A very sleepy, small fishing town that I suspect would easily feel at home along the coast of Maine or even further north in Newfoundland Canada. In the winter, maybe not so much ; )
Here's our travel list of camping destinations along with some quality walkabout stops while in-route.

Parting shots
It was nice to meet up with Terri and Vance for a few nights in the middle of the trip and certainly enjoyed hoteling it our last night at the historic Ashland Springs Hotel (near the California/Oregon border). Shooting-wise, pretty much the usual fare. An eclectic photo-travelogue with some landscapes over here....some grunge, abstraction and maybe a little Pop over 'der'.
