THE WEATHER: Beautiful warm, sunny day. Highs in the 80’s. I think we’re finally seeing summer.
THE DISTANCE: 150 miles to Langlois, OR
THIS is what we came to see! The 150 miles we traveled today was much more of what we had expected this drive to look like. Right along the coast with wide sweeping views of ocean crashing against rocks along with a forested coast line. The ride was interspersed with sweeping junipers (due to the wind) over the road and canopies of big pines and a tunnel cut through the mountain again.
At one point we were towering above the ocean floor on a cliff of about 300 feet watching seals play in the surf! It was such a beautiful sight. Further down the road the scenery changed abruptly when the rocky coastline became sand dunes! There were miles that stretched out in front of us that looked more like Cape Cod than the Oregon coast. Some according to the pamphlet reach 300ft.
We are staying at another KOA today that is set into the woods. Really pretty. We’re unfortunately 5 miles from the coast so there won’t be a walk on the beach tonight!
Hi Gary and Debbie!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting caught up on your blog again. We were in the good ol' Granite State visiting mom and dad.
Glad you are both doing well. It is so beautiful out there. Thanks for the great pics.
It was good to see Andy Glover, too. I couldn't believe it! I think what you should do is visit all of the states where your former youth group kids live! Kentucky is particularly beautiful this time of year.
