So I'm updating this from CALIFORNIA!!! we made it out all the way west! It was a long haul but here we are, ready to enjoy the sunshine state! Before we left Oregon though we had a blast while we were in Florence. We started off the day visiting the worlds largest sea cave that just happens to be occupied by sea lions. While there are hundreds of these guys around, we only saw a few since they were out feeding. None the less the cave is very interesting and gave us a great view of the Pacific ocean and a lighthouse to boot! Now, that was fun, but the best part of the day for me was when we went ATV-ing on some dunes a little further down the coast. I had never been before and it was absolutely the most fun ever!

It was thrilling to rocket up the dunes at 20ish MPH with nothing between you and the rest of the environment. Pictures of both and below!

Ok, to the right is the last picture of the Sea Lion Cave, you can see a Sea Lion in the picture above!
Today we had our last Hurrah in Oregon at Crater Lake! It was absolutely breath-taking and well worth it! We took two amazing hikes and went to two extremes in the park, down to the water and up to a fire observation post! The views were spectacular and it felt good to get back into the whole hiking thing. Here are a few (of many) pictures!

Glad you found Crater Lake.
