Here we are at Lakeside, another campground on a river. They tell us we are here at the wrong time of year. We've heard that everywhere we have traveled. Seems like they have a lot of fog in the summer...something about the heat of the enterior pulling the moisture from the ocean....whatever, we didn't see sunshine but one day and that was about 1:30 p.m.
Our campground had lots of cravings...here are a few...fish, an eagle and a little elf.
One of Oregon's lighthouses run by the Coast Guard.
Ifa you look really hard at the inside of the trianagle, those dots are actually oyster farming. Get this, they import the baby oysters from the East Coast because East Coast oysters are BIGGER than West Coast oysters...Who Knew!!! I sampled some of those oysters at a local restaurant at dinnertime.
This was a Humpback Whale bone on display.
Oregon is famous for its dunes(I just learned). It is a 4 wheeler's Heaven. Some of the dunes are 500 ft tall. If you look really closely, you will see one coming down the mountain of sand.
During our exploring, we went into Winchester Bay and had lunch at this little cafe. It was nice but the chowder wasn't the quality of the chowder we had in New England. Or maybe you just can't compete with a memory. Thursday the Happy Travelers move on to Lincoln City, OR. Happy trails and more later.
