It was a cool, foggy morning. We headed out of Waldport at 9. The fog was pretty and not really hazardous. We got down to Florence hoping to see the Oregon Dunes, but there were no really good views of the dunes. However, the route we took from the Pacific Coast Hwy over to I 5 – Oregon 38 along the Umpqua River – was really beautiful. We saw some elk at the edge of a meadow. When we stopped for a stretch, a beautiful rough-legged hawk flew over us and landed in a tree. Today’s photo is of the Umpqua River stop.
We also saw a herd of sheep with a single llama. We have seen that several times here in Oregon. Apparently many people put a llama in with the sheep because it is an aggressive animal and will protect the sheep from predators.
The drive down I 5 is also quite beautiful, both in Oregon and in California. It did start to rain a bit near Grant’s Pass, but it didn’t last too long. We arrived at Mt Shasta KOA about 4pm. We have a decent site, and the satellite works. It is still cloudy and cold, low 50s. Hopefully it will be prettier tomorrow.
