Return to the Lower 48

We’re not in Alaska anymore

Our return to Washington was a bit jarring. After almost four months in Alaska we were not accustomed to the crowds, the traffic or the full campgrounds.

After some quick errands in Bellingham (oil change, Trader Joe’s) we headed south in search of available campsites. We found some lovely, and unpopular, spots.

Lewis & Clark State Park, Mary’s Corner, Washington
Relaxing at Lewis and Clark State Park
Haystack Campground near Madras Oregon
Enjoying the vanilla scent of the Ponderosas at Williamson River Campground, Chiloquin, Oregon
We found this by the side of the road in the burned area near Williamson River Campground
Someone in Forest Service law enforcement has a sense of humor (ticket is from this summer but cars obviously been there for years)

We had camped for several days near the coast, until heavy rain was predicted. After looking at maps and checking forecasts we decided to head inland towards Lassen National Park where clear skies were predicted.
