Oregon Coast

Silvie and I took off for the Oregon Coast, driving down Highway 101 to Lincoln City. We camped for two nights at Devil's Lake, and then spent a night at the Lake House B & B in Otis, OR. Devil's Lake is located just a stone's throw inland, so we could enjoy both quite conveniently. I kept driving us back to the beach, because I loved it!

Geez, camping was cold - good thing we brought extra firewood!

The cottage was luxury after camping.

We had a kitchen, full bath, queen-sized bed, fireplace and cable tee vee.

The beach!

Damn, where's my boogie board?

Sil had fun with her kite...

...while I had fun running from the waves! The water was actually NUMBingly cold, so that after being soaked to the knees I would hobble back to the warming sand. I did this over and over, a game for a dummy - what can I say? It was fun!

We had a great time!!!

Millersylvania State Park

Silvie and I did a night of car camping just ahead of our trip to Oregon, a sort of dry run to see if we had all our stuff together, as far as camping goes (gear, food, etc.). Millersylvania is 10 miles south of Olympia. The campin' was fun and hiking trail loops were quite nice. A few pics:
