Sitting down to do our blog this morning when Rob told me to come outside. There is a large group, pod, herd or whatever you call a bunch of seals out on a sandbar below us!
We are still coming up highway 101 along the coast. It is just how I expected Oregon to be. Craigy rocky shoreline with fabulous views of the ocean when you round the corners. The surprise has been the area of giant sand dunes! I would like to come back in 10 years to see where they have drifted. You can see where whole trees have been covered. In one spot they are starting to encroach on the village and highway!
The towns have either been/are harbours or logging centres. Did see some awful clearcutting, just like B.C.. The villages/towns are quaint and picturesque. Very charming. Rob even detoured when I spied a quilt shop so I could see what they had.
We stayed in a KOA last night sitting high on a sand cliff overlooking a lagoon. When the tide goes out there is quite the sandbar that shows up and hence the seals or they could be sea lions as there is a place called Sea Lion Caves that you can go to see them. This KOA is very quiet right now. We must be travelling on the shoulder season. A lot quieter than the previous day!
