Finances: October 2014
Check out our actual expenses in October 2014 and see how it compared to our budget.
Adventures of Camper Dan
California Coast: Santa Cruz area
October 31 – November 1, 2014: When we departed Yosemite National Park we headed back to Los Banos, California and had Camper Dan’s brakes checked. All was reported well so we continued on to the Santa Cruz area where Michael was interested in – surprise! – a brewery.
Yosemite National Park
October 29 – 31, 2014: Upon entering Yosemite around noon we headed straight for the road leading to Glacier Point and arrived at the trailhead for Sentinel Dome by 1pm.
Northern California
October 25 – 28, 2014: Both of us have spent time in various parts of California so our primary objective for California is to seek out breweries for Michael, see family and friends, and visit Yellowstone.
Redwood Forests
October 22 – 25, 2014: Inside Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park we did the Simpson-Reed and Stout Grove hikes. Both were essentially short strolls and were a peaceful and relaxing introduction to California.
Oregon Coast
October 19 – 22, 2014: We love cheese. Our first stop as we headed from Portland towards the Oregon coastline was in Tillamook at the Tillamook cheese factory. We quickly completed the self-guided tour to get to the cheese samples and ice cream.
Columbia River Gorge
October 14 – 17, 2014: Departing Mount St. Helens and the Ape Caves, we headed to the Columbia River Gorge area. The Columbia River Gorge is the largest scenic area in the United States, extending more than 100 miles east of Portland, and consists of a very diverse landscape carving a canyon between Washington and Oregon
Mount St. Helens and the Ape Caves
October 13 – 14, 2014: We chose Mount St. Helens over Mount Rainer and are glad we did.
