On the road again.... I know it is almost a cliche but love that song. We are on the road to the Oregon coast. The weather is amazing, sunny, calm, clear blue skies. A bit cool but fall is like that. Closing up the house took a while so our first stop was close, Newport, Oregon. Our friend Warren is a camp host there so we wanted to say hi and check out South Beach State Park.
It is a great camping park with hiking trails, bike trail, beach, jetty, marine science center & aquarium all within a walk or bike of our camp site. Lots of nice sized sites with reasonable privacy and pretty beach pines. We walked the jetty trail to guess where? the jetty. Also rode our bikes and walked to the beach. Nearby is Yaquina Head & Lighthouse, a national recreation area. Luckily the government shut down ended so we were able to spend a day there at the visitor center and hiking. Of course we had to go to the original Mo's on the Newport Bayfront for their famous clam chowder. More sightseeing and then it was time to head on down the coast. We were there 3 nights and could have spent longer.
