Admittedly I wanted to be one of the people heading south over the holidays but my wife had her heart set on Olympic National Park. “It won’t be crowded this time of year.” She was right about that. So north we went.
Much of the west has had a dry start to the winter but it was still surprising to see Mt. Shasta with so little snow.
At Salem we left I-5 and made our way to the coast. The State parks in Oregon are really nice. Most have electrical and water at each site, free showers, and cost about half of what California State parks charge. We spent this night at Nehalam Bay State Park.
Crossing the Columbia River from Oregon into Washington.
