From California into Oregon

The next day being a Saturday, we left fairly early in the cold, foggy morning and drove through an impressive quantity of redwood trees, stopped to admire these tall trees (300 to 350 feet high) and marveled at the healthy look and conditions in spite of thousand of years on the planet. 

That sight was humbling and revealing about the beauty of the west coast and its peculiar tree species. 

We stopped for the night in Medford, a medium sized city where the temperature was 95 in the afternoon, a real scorcher after the 65 degrees with lots of wind on the Pacific Coast. 

We went to visit the small town of Jacksonville, its cute Main Street where we found our first delightful meal at any Mexican restaurant!
