Oregon, Day 6

We finished up the last 20 miles of California today and plunged into Oregon.  We are driving Oregon 101 highway and I am enjoying every minute of it.  The wind howled inland today, 40 miles per hour (I'm guessing).  We heard that at Newport Oregon, the wind peaked at 57 mph or thereabouts. 

I think I have finally lined up some photos to put in here so I will do that and call it a day.

The Oregon Coast. 
It was overcast at times and perhaps even smoky at other times.
We also had beautiful sunshine but always the wind blew today. 

We had many beach stops and lots of exploring.

Cape Blanco, a working lighthouse but since it is electrified, there is no lighthouse keeper anymore.
 

A redwood stump but not a big redwood stump.
 

The wind was so strong and cool that I wore a winter coat on the beach.
 

In this area, Newport and south, we saw a half dozen of these 1920s Art Deco bridges with cement and metal ornamentation.  I love this one.  It looks like a gothic church.

Tomorrow we will meet Doug, finish up the shoreline of Oregon and stay at a World Mark condo in Washington State.
