Lincoln City Travel Blogs, Travelogues and Travel Journals

I have been going to school for the past 5 months and still have 3 months before I start my 9-month sailing adventure around Canada and the US!

I stopped at Cape Lookout for a quick hike - didn't make it all the way to the end.  I figured the photo would look about the same and I still had lots of ground to cover.  The Oregon Coast has many turn outs where you can pull over, take a quick photo and leave if you'd like.  They are part of the state park system, but you don't have to pay to enjoy the beauty.  Boiler Bay is a very photogenic location.  I stopped here before camping one night and then stopped again…

A wonderful thing about Oregon in general and the Oregon coast in particular is the abundance of state parks, hiking trails and camping areas. Every several miles along the coast there was another beautiful state park to explore.

Travels through Oregon.

Started the day off with clear skies then lots of rain the closer we got to the ocean.  I wanted to take a helicopter ride at Seaside, OR but it was raining so hard I changed my plans.  I will be on the lookout for another place to take flight.  Dave and I decided we will come back to the coast of OR and spend a couple of weeks.  There are so many things yet to do here, tour the Sea Lion Caves and the mail boat ride up the Rouge River to name a couple.   RV Par…

Well, we made the first day without killing ourselves or the kids.  They are SOOO much sweeter when they're sleeping...

I just got back from Oregon and found this to be a great state for relaxation and pure nature. I assumed Oregon would be a wasteland of trees and cold and miserable, but was pleasantly suprised to find a beautiful shore town (Lincoln City) and 90 degree temps. The Pacific Ocean was amazing with evergreen trees and Lighthouses dotting the landscape. If you like nature and want to get away and relax i give Oregon 2 thumbs up!!
