5. Deception Pass State Park, Washington

Our last camp site was in Deception Pass State Park, Whidbey Island. There were showers for a token, but again no camp fires.

Ice cream was yummy, and huge.

We decided to go to Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Our lunch was  from Russian Piroshky, a place that's always busy, especially when there are 3 cruise ships around.

At the beach we were having fun until sunset building balancing rock towers and drift wood pyramids, which were both harder than they look.

Our last stop was in Ashland, Oregon, Green Springs Inn.

There was a whole family of deer there, who feared no one and chilled by the chicken coop.



 

9 more hours of driving and we are at home at last, greeted by the sun blazing at 105 F!

Our wonderful road trip is over, where o where will we go next time?  

4. Kalaloch Campground, Washington

You wont see a Starbucks coffee in Oregon.

This was our view for most of the ride. Washington greeted us with rain and fog.

 

Kalaloch Campground is located in Olympic National forest. Even with all the rain there were no campfires allowed here. And sadly also no showers.

 

By the beach we found golden raspberries (yes they are ripe) which unfortunately tasted salty.

Hoh Rain Forest does not allow dogs on trails, so we could have stayed in our camp longer, which was already a rain forest.

3. Devils Lake State Recreation Area, Oregon

Our quest continues, to Oregon!

All of Oregon was covered in wild blackberry and raspberry plants.

Harris Beach South

Oregon is super duper dog friendly. Our dog Lola loves to kill seaweed. :)

Arch Rock

One of the very interesting stops was Prehistoric Gardens.



Oregon Dunes

 

Sandboarding looks like a lot of fun!

 

 

 

 

Spouting Horn

You should definitely check out the Spouting Horn.  

Here at Devil's Lake Camp Sites we got to stay in a yurt. It was a fun change to tents, and we got to have a break from pitching them. We also picked wild blueberries, yum!


Siletz Bay is the perfect place to dig for clams, we even tried one.

 

Siletz Bay

Our dogs, Lola, Rocky, and Gunner loved swimming and running.

We were definitely not the only ones with a herd of dogs. :)

Local cherries were delicious.
 

We visited 2 cheese factories, Blue Heron and Tillamook. Consequently brie and smoked cheddar was our dinner.
