Camped at Tillicum National Forest Campground within 100ft of the ocean. Got out our Weber and while grilling steak, watched the sunset. Can it get any better than this?
Eventhough the temps went down below 50 degrees, we had to leave our windows open so we could hear the surf. Our Rv furnace worked flawlessly through the night.
In the morning we drove to Cape Perpetua, noted for great tidal pools. Got there by 9am so we would have low tide [and not get swept out to sea with the sea creatures]. The beach looked much like Hawaii with the volcanic basalt. We saw sea stars, strawberry & large green anemonies, purple sea urchins, and even a couple of crabs.
Following the tide pools we stopped at Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area where we climbed to the top.
Last night we camped at Cape Blanco, the most western point of land in the continental United States. Walked down to the beach in the morning and found the famous giant Kelp which can grow to 100 feet. Ruthie gathered some for dinner as we want to stay healthy on the tour!
Tonight will probably be our last night in Oregon, what a beautiful state!
