We left Brookings and Harris Beach State Park on Monday morning and meandered a bit up the Oregon coastline. We love camping in Oregon, and the coast is beautiful any time of year.
We stopped for a quick lunch and walk at the Coquille River Lighthouse. Looking at our jackets, you can tell the weather is changing.
Another stop at Devil's Punchbowl close to Newport. We didn't get good pictures of the wave action which rushes into a tiny channel and boils up at the end into fantastic sprays.
That afternoon we stopped and camped for the night at South Beach State Park outside of Newport. We had never camped here before and we'd like to come back. It is a large park with just a short walk over the dunes to the beach. Unfortunately, the weather forecast was for rain and more rain the next few days, so we decided to just head home in the morning.
This was a great trip with Candy and Rick. We went from the deserts of Phoenix and Death Valley to the mountains to huge trees, through Napa Valley wineries to the Oregon coast. So much variety in the scenery along the way. Huge temperature changes within just a few day. Lots of good food, wine, card games and laughter.
Over 500 nights now in Howie!
