Depoe bay Or


















Holy crap it is cold here! Now that I have that off my chest, let me also say that the last few days on the Oregon coast were historic warm temps...for them. The first day we were here was the second day this year over 70 degrees. What they neglect to mention is that it is 70 degrees when the sun is out and 53.2 degrees when the fog rolls in. We won't even discuss the nighttime temps! We stopped here to take a breath for a few days and it has been wonderful.
The campground is the only one in this area with beach frontage and we were lucky enough to be right on the beach. While here we saw several Grey Whales and many Harbor Seals. The first whale we saw was referred to by the locals as a "juvenile" and was as big as our truck, awesome. The seals were just watching us watch them and just out of reach. It was kinda as if they were thinking...how does it feel?
Another great experience

Yeah, I snagged that lighthouse picture. Postcard beautiful scenes. Imagine living in that house nestled among the cliffs and water. How cool would that be....in July. I think it would not be fun in January.
