At the end of July, Stacy sat for the Oregon bar exam. We decided that a reward for all that work was in order, so we took a short camping trip down to northern California via the Oregon coast.

First night, we stopped at a National Park called *ahem* Tillicum Beach, near Waldport OR. Very cool little campground, but very busy. All the campgrounds were on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Next morning, I made coffee, and here is what I saw:

Here’s our campsite, and Stacy fumbling with some breakfast item…

I turned on the spot after taking the above picture, 90 degrees to the west, and here is what I saw:

On down the road later that morning, there were signs for Heceta Head Lighthouse Station. So glad we stopped to see it, it’s a lovely place.

Man, was that water cold! I waded through a little creek that was running into the ocean to snap this photo…my feet went numb almost instantly.

Geez, these are some pretty cool photos! :-) And we haven’t even gotten to the redwoods yet!

Stay tuned….
