March 7 Manzanita, Oregon

Leaving California we continued north along the Oregon coast. The southern portions of the Oregon coast consist of high volcanic cliffs with numerous sea stacks off-shore. Further north, the coastline changes to long,broad sandy beaches and grassy dunes.

For the past few days, we have been camped at Nehalem Bay state park, a park we discovered on our first visit to Oregon and have been looking forward to returning to. The weather is chilly with strong winds, rain and even some sleet! But, we are enjoying it in spite of the weather. Terra gets us out for long walks and keeps us smiling with her antics.
