Saturday August 31 Tree to Tree Ziplines Gaston, Oregon

I arrived on Friday afternoon and talked to Molly, whose husband's family owns Tree to Tree. They have an awesome house that looks out at the gorgeous view here. I was able to schedule a 10:15 zip for Saturday.

Tree to Tree also has a great aerial high ropes course.

My two awesome guides were Nolan and Logan.

Some great views!

August 29-30

Visited with my friend Debbie W, in Albany for a couple of days. Had a great visit! We just hung out and caught up on our lives!

Wednesday August 21 - 28 Reedsport, OR

I left Trees of Mystery and drove up the coast, soon reaching Oregon. I love the coast of Oregon...it is sooo beautiful!

Some fog was rolling in, but as I drove farther North it dissipated to I was able to drive all the way to Reedsport, Oregon, to my friend's, Debbie and Tim's house; arriving at 9:00 P.M., just after dark!

I spent  Thursday - Monday writing on the blog and trying to catch up, and enjoying visiting with my friends.

Wednesday August 21 Trees of Mystery and Sky Trail Klamath, California

I left Arcata and drove North along PCH. When I was driving South the day before, I had passed Trees of Mystery and saw they had a gondola ride through the redwoods and thought  that would be a cool place.

So, I stopped and was able to walk through the Trees of Mystery to the Sky Trail and take the 7 to 9 minute gondola ride through the redwood forest canopy to Ted's Ridge where there was an observation deck with views of Klamath Forest to the east and Hidden Beach and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The Kingdom of the Trees path shows the awesomeness of a coastal redwood forest. 

Along the path, with informational displays, are Coastal Redwoods, Douglas Fir and Sitka Spruce. Also, this area is home to the Cathedral Tree, a collection of nine trees growing together as one.

The views, and ride through the trees, were awesome.

I highly recommend stopping.

Wednesday August 21 Northcoast Adventures Zipline Arcata, California

I had been trying for several days to reach Northcoast Adventures Zipline. I finally got someone on the phone about 12:15 P.M. 

After speaking with a reservationist, I asked to speak with the manager, who the reservationist had been talking to while I was on the phone with her, she said he had left the office. I asked her to have him call me. An hour later, I called back and asked for the manager and he would not speak with me. I did get the address for the zipline.

I arrived at the zipline about 1:15 P.M., hoping to zip the 2:00 P.M. tour. When the guide arrived, I asked him and he said he would check. I had never met a tour guide that was so unenthusiastic about ziplining!

He told me the cost was $75. 

I then asked about the tour and was told that there is a 70 ft tree to climb to start and then three lines: 30 ft, 130 ft, and 170 ft. These are very short lines.

I did not zip.     

Tuesday August 20 Driving in California

After leaving XUS, I drove South on Hwy 101, the Pacific Coast Highway. It was a beautiful drive. I pulled over several times to gaze at the water and rocks along the way. I drove through part of the Redwood Forest with its magnificent trees. 

I spent the night near the water in Trinidad after driving as far south as Eureka.

Tuesday August 20 XUS Zipline Adventures Smith River, California

I left Cave Junction and drove to Smith River, California where i met Brock Richards. The place is owned by his father, Bill Richards. 

This is a great place for a zipline party for adults or kids. They can accommodate large groups, like church groups and Boy Scouts.

I like the layout. They have a center tower to climb, then all the ziplines go out in different directions. You can see the mountains and also out to the Pacific Ocean.

There are 4 different directions to go, with two of the lines being duals for racing with a friend!

I loved the place and how they have it set up! My guides were Brock, Bill and Horse! Thanks guys.
