After two all-church conferences last weekend, we were wiped out. Ok, Eric was wiped out, but I had sympathy exhaustion. So once the meetings were over, we headed to the coast! Can you believe that we only live an hour and a half away from the PACIFIC OCEAN!?! This is still amazing to me.
We camped for a night at Cape Lookout State Park between Nehalem Bay and the ocean. If you look closely, you can see the RV part on this skinny stretch of land.
The fullish moon was so bright that we turned of our flashlights for a while and played Scrabble by moonlight.
In the morning, we walked on the beach in nearby Oceanside--a cute little town. It's hard to tell in the picture, but at the end of the beach, there is a cement slab sticking out of the sheer cliff...with a doorway in it! There's actually a tunnel that goes all the way through to the beach on the other side.
Checking out the other side.
In the afternoon we hiked out to Cape Lookout, which provides gorgeous views of the coastline in both directions.
Looking north past our campground and over Nehalem Bay.
Looking south.
We just really had a great time together, my Goose and me.
Oh, and here is a ship that, a few years back, sank partway. It just bobbed out there in the mist, looking a bit sinister.
There is something magical and magnetic about the ocean. It just makes you want to stay there and be with it.
