In November 2017 I visited Oceanside, Oregon, a beautiful little town tucked below Cape Meares. Netarts is to the south and the Tillamook Bay to the east. I've stopped here many times over the years and have never been disappointed by the experience. Even this trip, where the tide was very high and the weather nasty, gave me great joy.
Nice person in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.
Continuing my quest to visit all the parks of Oregon, I visited Fields Bridge Park in April 2017…
Just south of the town of Coos Bay is one of the most wonderful destinations on the southern Oregon coast, Shore Acres State park. Shore Acres is the site of an old estate, whose wonderful gardens are still maintained, and which sits on sandstone cliffs above the Pacific. Truly spectacular ocean views combine with truly spectacular sandstone formations, wow...
In August 2017, we visited the Northwest Art & Air Festival in Albany, Oregon. The event started at Timber Linn Park with 35 hot air balloons slowly taking to the sky at 6:45am. The colors and the sounds were amazing fun. The sky was a hazy brown due to forest fires in the Cascade Mountains nearby (here's hoping no one gets hurt or loses their home!), but it made for a lovely sunrise at least.
Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook?...
Any trip to the Oregon coast should include a stop by the little village of Oceanside. Such beauty…
