We thought we’d move up the coast just a bit and snag a site in Harris Bay State Park over the border near Brookings, Oregon. Silly us. It may be a weekday but it’s July and by the time we got there the campground was full. So we pedaled on a bit and got a site at the Oceanside RV Park near the municipal airport in Gold Beach. Perhaps we could have made it to the state park earlier if we’d not been so busy geocaching but then we’d have missed out on all those mini-adventures! We continued on once we got to Brookings and by day’s end we’d logged more than a dozen finds!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
