With every trip that Shelley and I take, I always learn something new. Our Pacific Northwest Coast Road Trip was no exception. While I was performing my normal pre-trip research…

Shelley and I arrived on the Point Reyes Peninsula late in the afternoon. After checking into our lodging for the night, we headed for an early dinner.
Shelley and I arrived at Point Arena in the early afternoon. Not the most ideal time of day for photography, but with the right gear, you can make some beautiful photographs.

One day is not even enough time to begin to scratch the surface of this place. Remember that this was a trip that I knew in advance would be like a scouting expedition. Shelley and I will pick a road trip and research things to see and do along the trip. We then take the journey with the understanding that we will not have enough time in most places to see everything that we would like to. Think of it as a "let's see what is out there to see trip.” It’s a trip that we take to determine what places we’d like to go back to next time and spend more time at. One could easily spend a lifetime exploring Redwoods and might not see everything that there is to see. I, for one, would love to spend a few weeks exploring the “forest moon of Endor”.
Shelley and I arrived at Bandon State Park before sunset after spending time at the Coquille River Lighthouse. The weather had turned within the last few miles since leaving the lighthouse.

Bandon State Park is mainly known for Face Rock and the small collection of sea stacks that dot the coastline.
