April and I just returned from our Thanksgiving trip to the Oregon coast and Redwood National Park in Northern California. We drove from Hood River to Ocean Side Beach, directly west of Portland. The ocean was very windy and rough as a major front was moving in bringing the areas above 2000′ lots of snow. [...]
