Oregon Coast
After weeks of travel, we finally hit the Oregon State line! We enjoyed staying at a great campground near Bandon called Bullards Beach State Park. The weather was iffy the first day we were there but we were blessed to visit the beach during a beautiful sun break. It was a wonderful resting stop!

Forest Fires & Redwoods
After leaving the Mendocino Lake we headed north where we encountered a forest fire which had burned for miles and destroyed acres of forest. We had been warned that it was smoky along the highway which we would be travelling.. once we arrived on the scene, we were surprised that the California State Police had not shut the highway down because of how poor the visibility was.
At the situation camp. We were surprised the number of fire fighters..
These guys looked so exhausted!
Keeping little ones happy in the car proved to be a bit difficult at times!
Smile Big!
We had a fun time driving through this Drive Thru Tree in the Redwoods
They told us that a Suburban is the largest vehicle to fit through. Grady had me watch to make sure they weren't gonna hit the side! :-)
These adorable playhouses were constructed from hollowed out logs
These cuties had climbed up the wooden staircase and were peeking out to say hello
Adorable carved books and bookshelves
Ashley comes down the stairs
Dad and Mom have to squeeze up the staircase for a photo op too!
Weary travelers with their babies
Gracie wanted us to all pretend to be scary bears!
Bitty baby says hello!
You would have to be part of the McDonald clan to get this one,, but I HAD to include it! :-)
Back at the campground

Missing 2 cuties but it will have to suffice!
Our 'Big Foot'!
Goodbye Redwoods, Paul and Blue!
Lookin' more and more like home! It would only be a few more days until we reached the Pacific Northwest.
