I left the redwood area, reluctantly, today only because I knew I had some wonderful adventures ahead of me taking roads through Oregon and Nevada I’d never before traversed. What a change of scenery in just seven hours! I have determined that Oregon is schizophrenic…it can’t decide if it’s a coastal state, rain forest or arid, bleak lands! Here, let me prove it!
Hwy 199 out of California into Oregon.
Then it starts to change to a more arid terrain.
Then fertile fields…
now with snow-capped mountains…
rolling hills meeting majestic mountains
Back to arid again
Oregon starts to look like northern Nevada as Highway 140 turns southward
Must be getting closer to Nevada but this place is so dessolate so I don’t really know!
Nevada is getting closer…
And…there it is! Nevada looking like a huge meteorite crashed into the middle of those mountains. Wish you could see it better in this photo.
Beautiful colors only Nevada has…
Mountain peaks which look like ocean waves crashing into each other.
- I came around the corner from all that arid terrain to think I was seeing a mirage…which turned into a lake in the middle of it all!
Then more change in the mountains…beautiful change.
So, my friends, there you have my case on Oregon. I didn’t show you what I’d already witnessed yesterday on Hwy. 199 of the Smith River area that’s more rain forest than anything else but you’ve already seen that post, right? Sure you have!
Happy Trails!
from a Friend 
I would like to show my appreciation to you for bailing me out of this problem. Just after looking out through the internet and meeting techniques which are not powerful, I was thinking my entire life was well over. Existing without the solutions to the difficulties you have resolved all through your entire posting is a critical case, as well as those which might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not come across your blog post. Your main natural talent and kindness in touching all the details was vital. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a step like this. I’m able to at this point relish my future. Thanks for your time very much for the specialized and effective guide. I will not be reluctant to suggest the sites to anyone who should get counselling on this issue.
Thanks but it appears that you didn’t read the post! WordPress shows how many posts you look at and it says “0”! So, exactly which part was so inspiring?
