In September 2004 Gesa & I flew to Portland, Oregon and rented a camper. We drove up north to Tillamook . Then we drove down the Coast on HWY 1, stopping at Cape Meares, Yaquina Bay, Heceta Head,. At Umpqua River we turned east towards the Columbia River and Multnomah Falls; then back to Portland, OR. (See map)
