WITH BEND, OREGON IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR we headed west and landed in Hobbit Land. I would swear that it felt as if Tolkien had just departed this lush, riparian forest with mossy trees, ferns and our very own river just 40 steps from the back of our Airstream. The McKenzie River was peaceful to listen to while we fell asleep with the windows wide open. Next morning we were rolling to Oregon’s coast and the big, beautiful Pacific Ocean. With only two other people on the entire beach, Boone and Piper ran wild. This, they report, is the best dawg park….ever! (May 21, 2021)
