I left July 6th and traveled as far as Winston Oregon. I stayed over night at the Umpqua RV Park. It is nothing much to talk about, seems there were a lot of full timers parked there, but it had power and it was good for the night.
On Thursday I headed out early to complete the journey to Belfair State Park. Portland was spectacular with all the bridges and water. There was even a cable car that seemed to travel right over the entire town!
Traffic was light and I arrived at the park around 1PM. I was pleasantly surprised that they added power to my camp site for $15.00 more a night. Well worth it to me since I was staying awhile.
Friday was beautiful. I awoke to 60 degree weather and clear skies with a light breezy. the park was maybe 2/3 full and alive with kids, bikes and dogs. I loved it! so happy to see all the families out.
We paddled so many great places and all had their own flavor. The park was great and right on the canal.
July 7, - Friday
We started off with a hike at Twanoh State Park
This was a beautiful lush forested trail with a nice path that meandered up and up some more! Clearly we hiked to the top of this mountain. But it was well worth it. We hiked below cedar and maple and many ferns lined our path.

Tahuya River. This smaller river does not look like much when you first see it off a simple dirt parking area. The put in for the kayaks was just a short dirt embankment. With the high tide you can meander back a long winding water trail that turns into a beautiful lush waterway. The tide came up so fast as we had stopped for a late afternoon snack that one of the boats floated away while we were talking
