Homeward Bound

I recently went on a three day road trip to Oregon’s Pacific coast, completing a 450 mile loop from my home in central Oregon to Lincoln City on the coast, down along the coast to Newport, and then back home via Rt 20. (I took Rt 22 going west)

Homeward Bound

The next day I got up bright and early, got some breakfast and, reluctantly, headed east on Rt. 20 for the 210 mile drive home. I would have loved to keep driving south along the coast all the way into Mexico and beyond, but decided to save that trip for another time.

For a stretch through the mountains along Rt. 20 I found myself going parallel to another branch of the Santiam River. While I haven’t been trout fishing in years, I was almost tempted by the sight of this wild, beautiful, stream to take it up again. There are many sites along the stream where you can camp for $10.00 a night.

I got tired of working so hard all day with nothing to show for it but a wet a** and an empty stomach. ;-) Thanks for all the smiles.
