@Teej_Muk We stayed in Lincoln City (Taft) in Oct 2021!! Loved it!!

We stayed last night and tonight in a yurt at Devil's Lake State Park, near the D River wayside. Small park tucked away by the lake. It's a nice little spot! It was only $52/night here.
@Teej_Muk I have friends that live in Newport, and she volunteers at the Pacific Artists' Co-Op Gallery in Lincoln City.
We totally splurged and stayed at a Vrbo - there were 7 of us there for 5 days, so it was abt $350ish a person. I brought back lots of seaglass and some agate - and one of our party almost found one of the blown glass globes on the beach! We had a great time, would recommend. Wish it was closer to an airport, tho.
We flew in/out of PDX.
@Teej_Muk We went whale watching too...the only clear day and it was great weather. Next day was high seas and foggy - I have a picture of Otter Rock Lighthouse and you can't see the actual building at all from the parking lot. lol
I'm landlocked, so seeing the Pacific was a treat :D
@kismatt
I can't imagine living anywhere else but here in Oregon. We've got a license plate that says Pacific Wonderland on it. Sums up our amazing state pretty well!
(Now, maybe Italy...🤔)
@Teej_Muk Another friend lives on a farm in Scappoose, downriver from PDX! They sell eggs and things, and are on FB: :D

@kismatt
Thanks! We head back home tomorrow. It's been a nice relaxing time. We drove down to Depoe Bay today and saw a whale or two/several seals hauled out in Pirate's Cove/multiple brown pelicans. It was a great day.
