The Oregon Coast has always engaged me. It's a place of power and beauty cloaked in soft greens and white mist clouds. From Boise I headed west all the way to the coast. My room at the Ester Lee motel provided a base for some coastal explorations.
The Yachats area provided a good starting point. Mixing driving with short beach walks and hikes made for an excellent day out.
Along the way I found an old CCC building perched on a cliff and a number of impressive sea stacks.
A hike out to Cape Lookout provided a nice opportunity to stretch my legs and brought back memories of a family trip years ago when my mother, father, sister and I visited Oregon and attended Bob and Bets 50th anniversary. I think Jody and I had hiked the Lookout trail on that trip. If I remember correctly I may have even run part of the trail to avoid having the parents sitting around too long.
Today I had a pleasant stroll out to the Cape. Even noticed the first flower in bloom, although my photo of it was out of focus. Spring is not that far away.
