Sea Perch – Riveted

Gray Morning at Sea Perch

All that incredible sunny weather at the coast and wouldn't you know the day we're heading back into Portland it's all gray and drizzly?? Perfect! We used it all up!

We waited for the high tide to recede a bit and then went for a walk on the beach before leaving our lovely spot at Sea Perch RV Park.

Interesting colors in the sand this morning:

I thought this impromptu rock lineup that the tide just uncovered was nice:

Next stop: Bike Friday in Eugene to check out some upgraded folding bikes.

We stopped in Florence on our way north to visit with my great aunt Zelma (101 years old) and her daughter, Dolores (my second cousin). It was a short but very nice visit. At 101 years of age, I really need to get in all the visits I can with Zelma!

Now we're making stuffed (bacon-wrapped) jalapenos on the Traeger, and crab enchiladas for dinner, listening to the sound of the waves, and about to be sipping a martini. We're parked oceanside at one of our favorite spots on the Oregon Coast: Sea Perch RV Resort, just south of Yachats. The last time we were here was last May, doing a story with Coastal Living magazine (which I think is scheduled to publish in April 2014!)

Well, here we are at Sea Perch (from Kevin's hexacopter yesterday morning):

This place is gorgeous and our weather for the several days we've been here has been spectacular.

There are 24 RV sites and 4 ocean villas. Six of the RV sites are waterfront, and all sites are large, full hookup sites with a picnic table (and nothing's too far from the water). There's no cell service, but the campground's Wi-Fi is strong and stable. There's a gorgeous clubhouse with a nice gym, hangout areas, a fireplace, a laundry room, pool table, foosball and an upstairs lounge with an ocean view. There's a community fire pit, but no individual fire rings at campsites. The town of Yachats (just a bit north of here) has a market and a few restaurants and coffee shops.

We'll definitely be coming back here. (Thanks, Barbara!)

Driving the Oregon Coast

Here are a couple snaps from our drive yesterday. We went the long way from Stub Stewart (West out Highway 26 to where it hits 101 (between Cannon Beach and Seaside) and then South the rest of the way to Yachats. It was a gorgeous day, with gorgeous scenery.

We are now at Sea Perch RV Resort just South of the town of Yachats. We've got a waterfront spot right and it's gorgeous here. No cell service at all, but nice and fast wi-fi.
