Wild River Inn Grants Pass

... Views from the top floor were incredible. Next stop was a visit to the University of Washington. Situated on the water, it was an impressive campus.
We then took off for Pike Place Market. This was a huge open air market....fish, flowers, fruits, vegetables....you name it. The market itself was blocks long ...

... die Weinberge hoch Richtung Oregon nach Williams. Auf Grund eines technischen Fehlers sind wir dann mit reichlich Verspaetung in Williams angekommen. Heute haben wir dann eine Tagestour zum Crater Lake unternommen, dem tiefsten See der Staaten. Schaut euch einfach die Bilder der letzten Tage an. Viel Spass.

This was an unexpected highlight brought to me by Tamami, who found it on the web. An entire hotel and resort entirely in the trees. Well, sort of. Most of the rooms are up in the trees, some as much as 40 feet, and some even have water and bathroom facilities. The whole place has been around for over 20 years and they have been adding on rooms and things to do ever ...

From Coos Bay we continued on to Sami and Scott's farm on the Rogue River. We spent almost a month there last year, which was a blast and this year was, too.

We didn't do all the wine-tasting, at the various wineries in the area, but that's not to say that we didn't drink wine (although I'm not a great wine fan). However, we did do a lot of other things.

It seemed like several times a week, we had a few friends over for drinks and pupus (Hawaiian for ...

So leaving Port Angeles with a quater tank of petrol we headed for Sol Duc falls - such beautiful forest like nothing i've ever seen! We saw the falls and again no bears (really want to see one!) and walked through the beautiful forest and then thought we better get going. Haha stupid me said we'll be right for petrol and passed a petrol station cos the fuel was ...

... place I was approached by a pan handler. There are great tours to be had there. Hun Chi'ik tours (Edward) are very professional guides and competitive on price. The Actun Tunichil Mucnal (ATM) tour is amazing and completely worth every penny. Sarteneja is a perfect place to wind down from a hectic trip. Very quiet and mellow there. The businesses don't always have signs so if you want or need something you just ask someone where to get it and they'll tell you ...

... he will have scouted out some stuff we ought to check out. We fly out of Belize on March 4th to Denver, spend another night with our girls then fly to Sacramento on the 5th. I have never kept a journal of any kind before so we will see how I do..... Now that our itinerary is laid out I can say that it is cold here at home with ice on the car window each morning. However, the days have been sunny and nice. But not so nice we won't be lovin' Belize in a couple weeks!

... Pensacola and I know there are other things nearby but they don't really interest me that much. Some of the things I don't really care for are: fishing, beaching (although I may go swim in the gulf a couple times just to say that I've swam in the gulf as I haven't swam in the gulf before) and I'd like to do some snorkeling in the reefs (the last time I did oceanic snorkeling was back in Hawaii when I was 11). I'm curious about doing SCUBA diving, but I see a couple ...

So we head south to Brian's birth state, which makes him an Oregonian! There we find our long lost friends from Volcano the Neads and Brian's cousins. River rafting, flower shows, hiking, GIANT REDWOODS and seal watching are all highlights. Oh, and let's not forget the dune bashing on quads. Very eco-friendly....

... 800-447-2140; 1st flr. deck room, looks N.W. at channel & coast; $150 True to form on our vacations, early morning construction was being done outside our room. Again installation of new pipes and restoration of a sea wall! So much for the privacy we were promised in the literature. Tuesday Day 4 4/8/97 Depoe to Seaside, OR gray and rainy; stormy along the coast developed into a driving rain. We had a wonderful breakfast seated next to a rain-swept window while we ...
