Just back from my week vacation with my parents and Girlfriend in Oregon. Last year we visited Montana and Wyoming and spent most of the time in Yellowstone park, So this year we kinda wanted to do the traveling thing again.

We spent the first day driving up to San Francisco and and driving the coastline to Eureka for the night. After that was up to Oregon where we stayed on the coast in a couple different towns.

Then we went more inland and stayed 3 nights on the Rouge river. We did a 5 hour jet boat ride up the Rouge river that was pretty awesome. It was a 75 Mile trip with dinner half way down the river. The boats are custom made By the guys at hellgate jet boats, All aluminum and weigh 10K LBS loaded, 2 454 big blocks with a jet for each( I forgot the size jet). The boat turned on a dime, and could drift haha. But anyways on to the pics.

Enjoy.

These First couple Pics are Northern Cali Coastline, Around the Humboldt County area. Beach on side of the Hwy and forest on the other..

Thanks for looking.

 

Nice vacation. How far into the caves did you go?

 

Sweet pics. I'd love to retire in Oregon someday...

 

Pretty far, Idk how far you go in But its an hour and a half for the tour..

 

I was born & raised in Oregon, and I remember when our family took that tour. I think I was 10 or 12 years old, but I remember seeing some wild looking crystal-ice type formations way way back in the caves. They even had different colored lighting on them to make it even more dramatic looking. Wish I had some pics of it.

 

My dad went when he was a kid as well and said the same thing you said about the color lighting. We didnt see it this time around tho.

 

Very nice, the wife and i almost went to Oregon this summer, those pics look great!

 

Thanks. Your Vacation look like fun too. Maybe next year you guys can go to Oregon
