July 28

Decided not to stay another night in Eureka since drive to Portland would be so long. So of course we ate the gourmet breakfast before we started out for Grants Pass. We went through the Redwood National Forest and took our time..it was just beautiful..like dinosaurs could be just around the corner.

Arrived at Grants Pass about 2:30 and checked in to a Best Western. At least we are back in civilization..phones..internet. We went for a little drive to check out the town of about 30,000. They have a beautiful river running through the town and a great park. Very pretty. Went to a little bar next door to the hotel...had a drink and I played a slot machine. They have them everywhere! 

Back to the hotel...rest up and off we go to Portland tomorrow. So far this has just been awesome.
