We are back in the USA

Hi, We finished up with the caravan on the 19th in Prince George, BC. Spent the night in Cache Creek, BC. We had dinner with our tour guides, George and Ceal at a weird Chinese Restaurant. It was great spending the evening with them on our last night in Canada.
The next day we were in Castle Rock, WA about 47 miles from Mt. St. Helen. We visited the first visitor center built after the eruption of the volcano on May 18th, 1981. It was clear so we did got to see the south side. It was the north side that did all the demage.
I have always wanted to find the house my Mother grew up in Portland, OR. With help from my Brother, Mark, we found my Greatgrand parent's farm in Warren, OR and the back field where Mark shattered my Mother's ashes. We got lost in Portland and ended right at the corner of my Mother's house. Picutre above. Someone is renovating it but I feel so great that I got to see it.
That night we were in Lincoln City, OR at a Casino overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Fun night!


We drove down the coast to CA to the Redwood National Parks. This is the "Drive Thru the Tree" park. Not big enough for our Rig. Just thought it was fun to take this picture.

This is Mendocino, CA on the coast and hasn't changed much in the last hundred years. Cute shops and restaurant but fun to walk around and do the Cliffwalk. This had been under Fog a half hour before. While we were having lunch the Fog rolled back in.

Met up with an old friend, Tony in Santa Rosa, after visiting a few Vineyards and Winerys in Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

Jack and I are now in San Francisco and will blog soon. We are here till Sunday and have walked about 10 miles, took a Trolley tour and a Boat ride under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. Tomorrow we will sail and tour Alcatraz. New Pictures soon. Love Gail
