I still can’t believe I live in a place where I

I still can’t believe I live in a place where I can wake up and randomly take an unplanned day trip to Mt Hood to play in the snow💙❄️ #iloveoregon #mthood #snowshoeing

We had a great weekend in Sisters hiking and hangi

We had a great weekend in Sisters hiking and hanging with Eric & Meredith. Wonderful clear days with mountain views and mild temps. We hoped for a snowshoe up to Jefferson Shelter, but with such warm weather lately, we only needed microspikes. We still hope to put the snowshoes to use this winter. Thanks E & M for a memorable weekend!

Winter Break 2020: The Oregon Coast, Pt 3

Oregon’s South Coast is a more rugged coast and less touristy feel than Oregon’s Central and North Coast. We stayed at Sunset Bay State Park near Coos Bay and Harris Beach State Park in Brookings not far from the California border.
Highlights included:

•Hiking the trail from Sunset Bay with a variety of cliffside views.

•Picturesque sunsets at Harris Beach and Facerock Viewpoint.

•Walking the quaint town of Bandon, where we indulged in a sunset seafood dinner in the T@B at the beach.

•Visiting the west coast’s northernmost Redwoods, which are just barely on the Oregon side.

•Checking out the sites along the Boardman State Scenic Corridor with 13mi of pullouts to viewpoints.

We feel very fortunate to have so much to explore so close to home, and to have the trailer to do it safely this year. This trip definitely gave us a greater appreciation of the Oregon Coast.🌊
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

Winter Break 2020: The Oregon Coast, Pt 2 From As

Winter Break 2020: The Oregon Coast, Pt 2

From Astoria, we headed south to the Central Coast. We drove through the Northern Coast attractions we’ve visited many times previously (highly recommended if you haven’t gone!) to give us more time in the areas we haven’t explored further south.

The Central Coast was our favorite part of this trip with a lot of variety and very fortunate weather for this time of year.
•Devils Punchbowl: Since we were camped nearby at Beverly Beach State Park, we loved being able to walk the beach (barefoot in December!) to see Devils Punchbowl at low and high tide. At high tide, it’s great to look down on it and see the waves crashing inside the bowl. At low tide, it was surreal to be down in the bowl that felt like a coastal cave.

•Yaquina Head Lighthouse and Tidepools: We had a great day for seeing Oregon’s tallest lighthouse (93ft) and exploring below it at low tide.

•Cape Perpetua: The waves put on quite the show the morning we went. We really liked watching Spouting Horn that is an “ocean geyser” that shoots up water that resembles a whale exhaling. Our one stormy day was on Xmas day when we would have explored more here, so we look forward to returning someday to see more.

•We had a relaxing Xmas day with stormy weather outside and made it a movie and puzzle day🧩💙

•Umpqua Dunes: DUNES! Gotta love dunes!

•Lots of Harbor Seals & Sea Lions

Winter Break 2020: The Oregon Coast, Pt 1 With lim

Winter Break 2020: The Oregon Coast, Pt 1
With limited options this year, we decided to stay local and explore the full length of the 360mi Oregon Coast. We took 10 nights and stayed in 5 state parks along the way. Fortunately, we have the trailer to make winter camping cozy.

We started up north in Astoria, which many know as the main setting for The Goonies movie and many others. It was a blustery day, and the museum wasn’t open, but we were able to find Mikey’s House! We camped at Fort Stevens State Park where we were able to drive on the beach with the trailer a bit and see the Peter Iredale Shipwreck that’s been there since 1906. It was a fun kickoff to our coastal trip. 🌊

We did a Halloween Paddle on the Willamette River

We did a Halloween Paddle on the Willamette River at St John’s Bridge. It is a sentimental favorite of ours and it was a great day to see the fall foliage🍁🍂.

It was our first time on bigger waters, and boy was it eventful! At one point, we saw sea gulls fighting over something just 50yds away. Then we noticed what was happening! A HUGE SEA LION was thrashing up high out of the water with a gigantic fish and wrestling with both the birds and the fish. It was a total National Geographic moment right in front of us and I recorded the whole battle. That was the first time I saw a sea lion as frightening! We were in shock seeing this on a river and that an animal that huge could have come right up next to us. After the excitement was over, I excitedly checked my National Geographic footage...to find out that it didn’t record! Seriously one of my biggest camera failures! 🤦🏻‍♀️

We looked it up and found out that it’s actually a problem that California and Stellar sea lions are endangering the population of the salmon and steelhead in the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Who knew!
