August, 2015 - we rented two giant Suburbans and the twelve of us began our caravan around Oregon. For obvious reasons, Anna Claire named our bus "Clifford."
We started the journey in Portland but didn't spend a lot of time there until the end of the trip. The first few days took us to the coast through Newport, Bandon, and down to the Redwoods in Northern California.
Had dinner the first night in Newport, right across the Bay from the Rogue Nation Brewery and had our first taste of some Oregon Craft Beers.

Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us. Our days on the coast were mostly covered in fog. I've always found that dense fog made for some nice black and white images though.
