Beverly Beach State Park, 130 mile jump
A long day on the road, about 5 hours, but some sightseeing in beautiful Cannon Beach including breakfast factored in to that time. The Oregon Coast is truly spectacular, but at Tillamook, highway 101, turns inland and cuts through a lovely valley between sections of the Siuslaw National Forest. The sun was shining brightly, the grass was radiantly green, the livestock were feeding; it was bucolic!

We arrived at our destination about 2PM, found a remote campsite, but were disappointed to find poor cell service. We had to drive out to the highway in order to call to set up an appointment for service on the truck. Otherwise, it is a nice place on the east side of the highway with beach access under the highway bridge. It has 126 RV sites, 128 tent sites and 21 yurts.
Dinner was grilled pork chops, green beans, leftover stuffing and sweet taters. Hot showers in a cool shower house before settling in for reading and writing.
Good night!
