Monday August 10
Yesterday we saw Yachats and Newport and I noticed that all along these areas are long coastal beaches with most lodgings being all oceanfront rooms at more reasonable prices than I would ever expect for real on-the ocean rooms where one slides open the glass door to the balcony and listens day and night to the ocean rolling in and morning seabirds.
We did some dune climbing at state parks seashores. These dunes can be up to 500 feet high and while we didn't climb these, I struggled up some fairly steep sand and would never had made it had there not been beach grass to grab on to and pull myself up. We saw some open trucks taking tourists on vehicle powered trips up the dunes.
Ar the coastal trail at Yachats, we came upon a fine attached in cement to the ground binoculars to look out of the ocean. The plaque beneath it read "Jim's Telescope" in memory of James P. Bates--His Favorite View.
