We drove south through Portland to Hwy 18. I wasn't prepared for how lush the vegetable farms and nursery stock would be, so missed some photo opportunities along the way. This is a medium security federal prison for men at Sheridan, OR. There is an adjacent minimum security prison, too.
Ahead is the Pacific Coast Range that we will cross to get to the coast.
This casino belongs to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.
Our goal - the Pacific. To be here, where it is almost always cool when it is hot inland, is a wonderful prospect.
The Yaquina Head Lighthouse greets us from the north side of Newport, OR.
The jetty at Newport as seen from the top of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, looking north.
The Newport Marina as seen from the top of the bridge, looking south. Our RV park is just out view on the left and the Oregon Coast Aquarium is to the right. We were here in 2008. At that time Ted helped the camp host and his wife pick up a new RV in Salem. We ran into them a couple of years ago at a park along I-5 as they were making their way here to work. When we checked in today, there was Clay. This is their seventh year here.
This road runs along the south jetty to the dunes and beach. We can bike it from our coach. They have built more bike paths in the area since we were last here. Should be fun to explore.
