Covered most of I-5 in Oregon as well from Grant Pass to Portland with stops at Grant Pass, Winston, Eugene, Woodburn, and Portland – Loved no Sales tax on receipts! ๐
Last day in Redwoods – same traffic control/jam due to US-101 rockslide – there was a continuous splash in sea – so I assumed this is a friendly California big whale saying goodbye to me or simply sunbathing.. ๐
One of the lessons learned from last Kauai trip – if the place has been pictured in Jurassic Park, it is great! – so we went here without any doubt. Small taste of off-road driving from unexpected mountainous unpaved roads and crossing the small creak with mini-van was a bonus indeed.
