Pacific Shores

 Our last few days in Newport, we moved to Pacific Shores RV Resort, North of Newport.  This is a beautiful facility in a magnificent setting.  It is one of our favorite parks, but the ocean sites are very spendy, thus we don't stay long.
 There is a great view of Yaquina Head and her lighthouse.
 You don't even have to leave the coach to have a magnificent view. Ted has always been taken by the flag trees off the western slope of the park.  Their asymmetric growth is caused by salt spray that blasts the side toward the sea, particularly in winter.
One of my favorite George Carlin quotes is: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."  How's this for taking your breath away?
The second night, a shallow marine layer bisected the sun as it set. 
As our last day in Newport came to a close, we watched the sun set and the Yaquina Head lighthouse begin it's evening vigil.
