To Yachats

Monday morning started with the same walk as Sunday night. The difference was it wasn’t raining. We got gasoline and headed toward Oregon. Rest areas in Oregon aren’t the same as in California. They are State Parks with facilities. Some of them along the coast are not bigger than a California rest area. We stopped at many of the parks along the coast so the dog could run on the beach.

Monday brought no rain and the coast line was beautiful. Yachats was the next stop. By the time we got there rain was threatening. Our neighbors have land in Yachats and we slowed to look at it. Yachats is a very small town, but very pretty. We stayed in the Fireside Motel. It looks a little old and worse for wear from the outside, but the room was really nice. It was large, had a fireplace and a balcony that overlooked the coast.

We took Tasha on a walk along the coast. There is sort of a promenade in front of the hotels and houses along the rocky coast that runs at least a mile. The weather was getting colder and the wind was about 30 miles an hour.

Yachats has no fast food restaurants, but we did find a place where we could order and take food out. We had crab cakes, they were a little greasy, but good. Both of us were awakened in the middle of the night by the wind. We found out later that there were gusts of over 60 miles an hours. There was also a little rain.
