Hey! We just left Astoria yesterday! We were at Ft Stephen's fpr 4 nights. Previously we stopped at Nehalem Bay SP, South Beach SP, Bullards Beach SP, Joseph Stewart SP (near Crater Lake; don't miss Crater!!) and Harris Beach SP. Three weeks on the Oregon coast, and loved every cold damp minute of it. We got our wish to escape the Florida summer! Currently at a KOA in Castle Rock, WA, neat Mt St Helens, and headed ever north from here. Just under 8000 miles so far.

On your way south be sure to stop in Newport. The Rogue Brewery and distillery make some good stuff. There is a palce just south of the town called South Beach FIsh Market. Best halibut fish and chips we ever ate! Tillamook Creamery in Tillamook was a great stop for cheese and ice cream. Lots of lighthouses and beautiful coastal views are ahead of you. Enjoy!!
