Up the Oregon Coast

Heading North up the coast, we crossed into Oregon after about an hour. Highway 101 was alternated between fast inland straightaways through farmland and very slow swervy sections right along the Pacific Ocean. There were Oregon State Parks signs seemingly every mile along the coastal stretches. We pulled into a few of them that looked like they would accommodate the RV. Amaya wasn't very mobile with her crutches, but we made it out to a few beaches. The rocks along the coast were really neat.

Message in a Bottle?

We drove about half way up the Oregon coast to our final campground destination, the Winchester Bay RV Resort. Throughout our journey, other RVers—almost to a person—told us that this campground was one of the best they had ever visited. We rolled in just before dark after a long day on the road and were given the final waterfront site. The campground lived up to its reputation. The sites were beautifully manicured and every one had a fire ring. We started up a fire, cooked some burgers and had s'mores (along with a beer or two...). The coastal fog rolled in shortly after dark, but we stayed by the fire until it really started raining. We were tired of driving and had already decided that we would stay here two nights. That would give us some time to do a few day day trip activities in the area the next day—before we needed to be in Portland the day after that.
