My wife and I (and our two youngest children ages 7 and 10) will soon be going to Portland, Oregon to take our oldest son to college. Since I have some business in San Francisco shortly after we plan to drive from Portland to San Francisco. We understand that the coastal highway in Oregon is quite nice. We would like to camp at one of the state parks there, perhaps on the beach. We would appreciate any advice about what would be an especially attractive (or fun or interesting, etc.) place to spend a night or two. We would also appreciate recommendations of things to see or do in Portland, especially things that might interest the two young ones. We could use some advice about Northern California as well. I am fairly familiar with the Bay area, but know nothing about further north. The bird sanctuary mentioned in an earlier posting to this net sounds interesting and is in fact what prompted this query. Thanks, Jim Potter jp@lanl.arpa

The Oregon coast highway is beautiful if you get good weather. Oregon
Dunes Park has a very nice campground and is a fun place--high sand dunes
to play in. Other things to see/do in N. Calif:
--Redwood parks and groves
--Pacific Lumber Co. Mill at Scotia, CA--very interesting
--"Skunk" train from Ft. Bragg through redwoods to Willits and return
(nice day trip)
--Mendocino county coast parks and towns
Enjoy!
