After packing everything up at Honeyman, we headed south on Hwy 101. There wasn't much to see because it was foggy, but we did catch sight of the ocean a couple times as well as some seriously huge sand dunes.
Once we hit Reedsport we took an easterly direction on Hwy 38. We came across an elk viewing spot. We stopped to see what we could see. There were several very large elk eating in the tall grasses just in front of us! It was our first time seeing a live elk in person.
We continued on Hwy 38 and took a southerly direction at Hwy 138. We followed this until we hit I-5 at Sutherlin. Then we followed I-5 south to Grants Pass where we switched to Hwy 199 and followed it into Selma and Lake Selmac.
Our second evening was spent at the beautiful Lake Selmac. We took a short bike ride halfway around the lake. Dinner and s'mores were also enjoyed by all.
At about 3am we were woken up by russeling by our tent. Eric went to investigate because it sounded like there was an animal getting into our stuff. (We always pack the food away, but we did leave the cooler outside.) He stepped out of the tent and was face-to-face with a skunk! Thankfully he startled it just enough that it ran away with out stinking us out. It had been interested in our trash. Eric said he'd meant to put the trash bag in the van, but just forgot. He was thankful he didn't get any closer to the smelly little critter.
This was our camp site at Lake Selmac.
