Friday 28th September

First thing this morning we walked down the promenade at Seaside and came across this statue of Lewis and Clarke, the two people responsible for the Oregon Trail, much of which we have been following.

On our way south we stopped at Ecola State Park to look over Cannon Beach and saw this view of the rocks there looming out of the fog.

We walked around to the headland and had a clear view of the rocks off Ecola Point.

We walked along Cannon Beach for a mile or so to get a closer view of Haystack Rock which was shrouded in mist except for a few minutes when we captured this photo. Between April and August tufted puffins abound here.

Further down the coast we made a short stop to view these rocks which are known as the Three Graces.

We checked into the hotel at Newport and have this lovely view of Agate Beach with its unusual sand dunes.
