Northern Oregon to Washington

From Coos Bay we headed for an overnighter in Seal Rock.  The campground was an older one with lush vegetation and mature trees.  The lady running it with her husband comes every year from May to October from Shrevport, LA - for the last 20 years!  Even though the camp was on the east side of the highway, we had wonderful ocean views and a spectacular sunset.  We ventured to the historical port to people watch and shop.  The seals are definitely the main attraction.

Sunday, we decided to go to Washington, but not before stopping at the Tillamook Cheese Factory.  (You know Ron, Mr. Cheesehead).  It was actually quite impressive and with a self guided tour and samples, you can't go wrong.  Anyway, it was a fun stop, $40 worth of cheese later!

We made it to Long Beach, WA in the early afternoon.  We again are at a beach front property that stretches for miles.  More to come on this three day stop for sure...

HUGE Astoria to Washington bridge, a bit scary even at this view

Up and over, down into WA we go
