The route takes us up 101 to Crescent City, <a href=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/2005\/11\/crescent_city_ca.html\">where we were stuck last November<\/a> for a few days when our kitchen faucet began leaking.  Then we&#8217;ll cut northeast on Rt 199 into the lower end of the Klamath Mountains and then into Oregon.  It should be very scenic. Route 199 even has<a href=\"http:\/\/www.highway199traveler.com\/\"> its own website<\/a> (although it seems to be down today).<\/p>\n<p>We had considered going up 101 into Oregon along the coast, but decided against it for a few reasons.  (1) The weather along the coast is going to stay cool (60s) and cloudy for a while.  (2) We know from going south on 101 last November that there&#8217;s very little Sprint coverage along the coast and that means no Internet, for us. (3) The inland route along 199 brings us to stuff we haven&#8217;t seen before, and sets the stage for Crater Lake National Park, which has been on our &#8220;to-do&#8221; list for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Pronunciation lesson:  Being from the northeast US, we say &#8220;ORE-uh-gone&#8221; but the locals harass us for it.  The local pronunciation is &#8220;ORE-ee-gun&#8221;.  Everybody practice &#8212; we&#8217;ll be there for nearly a month.<\/p>\n<p>I can see from the network coverage maps we won&#8217;t have Internet tonight.  So this is all the blog entry I can do until we drive out tomorrow and cross I-5 around Grant&#8217;s Pass.   Stand by.  There should be some good pictures coming out of this overnight stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are heading off this morning to Oregon Caves National Monument.
