Crescent City Lighthouse..the view from in front of our hotel
As we were leaving Crescent City, the boys spied this awesome park and begged me to pull over. I thought it would help them get out some energy for the drive, so I obliged. They got there weapons and had a war. It was a pretty amazing park, especially for a war. Today we would be heading more eastern and leaving the coast. We made our way into Oregon via Hwy 199 and got to see all the randomness of the mountain people of Oregon. One such sight was a burl shop: A burl (American English) or bur or burr (used in all non-US English speaking countries) is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner.
Interesting people..interesting art
The one thing I loved about Oregon was the fact that they pump your gas! It takes you back to the days of full service..
We were only in Oregon for a short while, just long enough to catch Interstate 5. Then it was South bound from there. We stayed the night in Dunsmuir at this charming railroad resort. It was a place I found on the internet and it was the boys' absolutely most favorite spot! The novelty of sleeping in an old train cart wasn't just for the young..I thought it was pretty dang cool. We drove into the town of Mt. Shasta to watch Madagascar 3..which was hilarious. One of only a few franchises that the movies just keep getting better. The only negative aspect of sleeping in the train car was deciding who got the top bunk! It was pure drama. We drew names probably 3 times, and in the end, it was Jayden's crying that got him on the top! I hate rewarding negative behavior, but we were so wiped out and had no more fight in us!
