Gary_M Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hi all! We just finished a fantastic trip down the Oregon coast. Our starting point Shelton, Washington and we ended in Florence, Oregon. Fantastic weather! No crowds! Here are the highlights and pictures. 14 April - Entered Oregon going across the Astoria Bridge. Ran into another Toy home here. I flashed my lights and they flashed back. Thought I saw a fist pump from the driver, cool! ;-) We stopped to see the Lewis and Clark fort at Fort Clatsop. We then made our way down to Canon Beach. We camped at Nehalem Bay State Park. Astoria Bridge Canon Beach Nehalem Bay State Park - The Toy! Nehalem Beach 15 April - We hit the Tillamook Cheese Factory, fun for the kids. We then took the 40-mile 101 inlland route (Three Capes Loop) to Cape Meares to see the lighthouse. This road here is pretty rough so we took it easy even with cars and logging trucks on our tail. We ended up camping at Cape Lookout State Park. Tillamook Chese Cape Meares Lighthouse Cape Lookout Beach 16 April - We ended our Three Capes Loop route at Bob Straub State Park. Beautiful! We then made our way down the coast stopping at the Sealion Caves south of Newport. Along the way we passed a Sunrader sporting a red primer hood, taking in one of the many coastal view form the road. We ended up camping at Jessie M. Honeyman Memorail park outside of Florence.. Bob Straub State Park Sealion Caves Heceta Head Lighthouse 17 April - We made our way to I-5 and up to Portland. We stayed at the Kennedy School (McMenamins). 18 April - Back home to Seattle. The Toy ran great and encountered no problems.The next big trip will be a continuation of the Pacific Coast Highway to the Redwoods of California. Cheers!

Nice soaking pool and they serve you drinks while you soak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
