Navigating Scenic Highways is challenging. From what we’re learning, in order to find the scenery, you may need to go from one scenic highway to another and then maybe down a gravel road or past three elks and a deer, then look quickly to your left. This is not GPS compatible. Talking to the “locals” is one key to getting around and being willing to put on the mileage is another. We have covered 259 miles of the 363 miles of Oregon’s Pacific Coast Scenic Highway 101. I lost count of how many miles on other scenic highways. Today’s favorite was Highway 540. Tomorrow we head east on Hwy 38 and the Scenic Umpqua River Valley.
There are no shortages of photo opportunities here. Enjoy the slideshow.
Recently we read the “Interviews from Florida” section from the Roughing it Smoothly magazine in which you were featured interviewees. We also own an Allegro and are enjoying it to the extent! We noticed your Bucket List wish to see Glacier National Park. My husband and I work as Campground Hosts at Fish Creek Campground in the park. We’ve been there for 11 summers. Fish Creek is one of two reservation campgrounds in the park. We would love to see you when you visit and would be willing to help you plan your visit and save you time in the Visitor Center. Do look us up when you get to the park. We are in the D Loop at Fish Creek.
