Thousand Trails South Jetty, Florence, Oregon
We started the day with an early morning walk on the beach. The boys are so happy running and smelling everything. We walked down to the jetty. It was a wonderfully misty morning which added an air of mystique.
The rest of the day we mostly did laundry and other things around the camper. We did watch The Peanut Butter Falcon on Netflix and highly recommend this feel good movie.

We have met a lot of people who tell us they would love to travel full-time in an RV like we are. We have found that our expenses are about what we expected them to be (low), people in campgrounds are friendly but respect your privacy, and we do not miss having a house. Our little camper is perfect for us and we do not feel we are lacking for space. We highly recommend this lifestyle.

We got up at 5am to take the boys for a final walk on South Jetty beach. It warms our hearts to see them having so much fun.
Today is a travel day and it is the first time pulling the camper with the Cybertruck. Rosie, the Cybertruck, did fantastic and Daniel calculated a towing range of 150-160 miles.

Today is an adventure day! We started by visiting Wild Rivers Animal Rescue. It is a no-kill shelter in Gold Beach, OR. The staff was very nice and talked to us about the animals and the shelter. They have a thrift store which provides them with some funds to run the shelter. Like most shelter and rescues, they are always in need of adopters, foster homes, and donations.
We stopped at some beaches to due some rock hunting. We also stopped at Kissing Rock and at Myers Creek Beach, one of the 10 most photographed beaches in US.
Next we went to Otter Point hoping to see sea otters. We may have seen one off in the distance but we weren’t sure.
And look at some of the rocks we found!

Klamath’s Camper Corral, Klamath, California
Today is a travel day! We are going south into California. The drive was beautiful! There were many viewpoint pull-offs on the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor but we only stopped at one.
We drove into California and Daniel and the camper were searched at an agricultural check point for moths. I had no idea what they were searching for so I assumed my husband must look suspect. Haha!
We drove through state and national redwood forests and it was beautiful! It was misting and very foggy which made it seem a little creepy.
And creepy it was! I noticed someone was following us. We were going through some mountainous areas where there were periodic passing lanes and one truck stayed behind us for about 15 miles while everyone else passed us. Daniel even pulled over on the side of the road and this truck pulled up right behind us. Daniel got out and came back to tell me that he was checking something on the Cybertruck and the driver of the truck just sat there and didn’t say anything even though his window was down. When we pulled away, the truck followed closely. So… I got pretty freaked out. As soon as I had cell service I called Daniel and told him to pull over at the next public place so this guy doesn’t know where we are going. Then I called 911 to report that we were being followed. Luckily, when Daniel found a suitable place to pull over, whoever was following us didn’t stop. It was a grey Tacoma truck with maroon cab. And that’s how we escaped a possible serial killer.

Klamath’s Camper Corral, Klamath, California
It’s a beautiful sunny day so we drove to the Redwoods National Park. We stopped at the visitor center to get some suggestions on where to hike since this is such a large park. We went to Stout Grove which has such majestic trees. It’s impossible not to feel reverence walking through the big trees.
We learned that some redwoods have curly bark due to genetic mutations or environmental stress. A hotel in Cresent City, Curly Redwood Lodge, was built using a single curly redwood tree.

There are so many wonderful things to see in the US. It’s definitely the scenery making the photos good because my photos are taken with my cell phone not a fancy camera. Thanks for your comment!
