The Dream Inn 62 Mobile Scout Restoration

First trip with our new wheels.

My old Toyota finally died with over 400K miles it was time to retire her. Here is our new and improved 4 door Toyota Tacoma - "The Black Stallion" did a great job pulling our little Dream Inn along the Oregon and Washington Coast.

Got ourselves a sweet little site at the Sea Ranch Resort in Cannon Beach Oregon (without reservations). Here we are enjoying beverages we picked up along the way at the Yachats Brewery in Yachats Oregon- definitely make a stop there if you get the chance.

Enjoyed some brunch with an amazing window seat view at the Wayfarer Restaurant and Lounge on Cannon Beach

Shiloh enjoyed how dog friendly Cannon Beach was

Here are some of the views from our short hike in Ecola State Park before getting back on the road and heading to Washington.

Made it to Olympia washington

Overnight detour to check out McCredie Hot Springs on the way home

On our way home we took a road less traveled and headed to check out McCredie Hot Springs in Oregon. We pulled in late and found a sweet little Forest Service camp ground nearby called the Blue Pool Campground on Salt Creek, what a beautiful spot to wake up in the morning! The forest was so lush and green and the creek was just a few steps away from our campsite- what luck!

Our campsite- didn't even unhook it was such a short stay

On the Road Again

But first Introducing our newest addition: Shiloh

This was back when she was just a pup in 2014 visiting the beach north of Santa Cruz CA

In the early summer of 2015 We hooked up the Dream Inn and headed north to Crater Lake Oregon

Here we are parked in the snowpark lot overnight

We're awful at planning ahead so of course we didn't have any reservations for campsites. Crater Lake National Park was completely full when we got there. But we found a great place to park and camp just outside of the Park boundaries (for free) at the Snow Park parking lot and had it all to ourselves. In the morning we found a sweet little dirt road that would be perfect for next time with a little make shift campsite (fire ring and all) along a sweet little creek (next time we know where to go).

Crater Lake National Park Oregon

A little smokey but still beautiful

We found the park to be beautiful, but way too crowded for our taste and not very dog friendly. No hiking with dogs allowed on any trails other than the paved trails for handicap use. There was also a fire nearby and it was pretty smoky so we moved on after spending one afternoon in the park.
