Day 2 Portland to the Oregon/California boarder.

We were up at 5:30 to get and early start to our day.  Warm weather was the goal and we were anxious to find it.

The view was beautiful and a little different than I have seen it in the past.  Then we started noticing something, this storm had done some serious damage to the trees.  There were broken limbs everywhere.

Then we drove into the part of Oregon that everyone thinks of when you mention Oregon; lush coastal forests, moss and ferns.

these mossy trees look so cool

The next part of our journey took us up and through the mountains to California.  It started to get drier and warmer.

hard to believe there is a ski hill here.  Where is the snow?  I see bug goo but no snow.

that's a hill

drier means warmer, right!
