Day 5 - Bayocean, Cape Meares and Oceanside
Who wouldn't want to stop and visit this very friendly looking character?
Of course, lunch and looting at Five Rivers Coffee Roasters.
Ella is dubious this grassy trail leads to a beach.
Once again Ella's continuing investment in art classes is paying off. Here she has carefully integrated her mark making into the local terrain - with thoughful consideration of the spatter pattern on the sandscape.
Really? A grassy trail leads to a beach?
The hand of Russ clearly points to the fact that indeed there is a beach here.
The Team heads to the final dune summit.
Dog surveys her beach.
A friendly sea serpent rests on a snag after a long and arduous sea journey.
The largest set of antlers ever found on an Oregon beach.
Frantic racing on the sand ensues.
Grass sky dunes. What more do you need?
The light at Cape Mears - still at work, and looking oh so good while doing it.
The largest Ruby ever found is kept here at the Cape Meares light.
Classic coastline.
Yet another US Navy listening post. Yes, they are listening. Right now.
This is a crazy 5 trunked tree. Who knew they could do this?
That's Oceanside over there, balanced on the cliffs above the sea.
Coming in for a landing at Oceanside.
As urban as it gets in Tillamook. Even the dogs are kinda bored.
Pronto pup lives on in Rockaway Beach. In fact there is a new outlet in Seaside - but it does not sport an enormous weiner - so this locale wins hands down!
