Cape Blanco...more rain?

Once we were on the road and back on internet, we realised Oregon state parks are much better value than California.  CA was $35 per night with no electricity or water hook-ups and Oregon was $20 per night with electricity and water.  We were pleased we moved out of our last site.
Along our drive in Oregon, we stopped at pull-offs in Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor to enjoy the rugged and rocky coast of Oregon.  

Tim and I agreed it looked a lot like Scotland!

At Susan’s recommendation, we stayed at a beautiful state park on the coast called Cape Blanco.  With gorgeous wild flowers, a wild ocean and wild rain and wind, it wasn’t ideal, but you could imagine going back in nice weather and really enjoying it.  It was too blowy and raining for a trail hike, so we decided to take war down to the beach.  


Tim was up for an adventure and put the truck into 4x4 and we drove along the beach.  It was fun, but Karen was concerned about getting stuck.  Tim had faith in War and she got us out just fine.  Georgia enjoyed looking for the light from the lighthouse.
With the rain continuing and forecast for the next 3 days, we decided to skip Oregon Dunes and head straight for Susan and Hale’s house in Washington.
