n789643344_3581.jpgYes, again…we really can’t help ourselves. There was a post on UM recently about where to head within 4 hours of town, guess what we suggested?

We went to Yachats again last month (that is the third trip this year for those who are counting). What did we find?  Yachats rocks any time of year. Even during the “peak season”, it is delightfully laid-back and unassuming.

Some new highlights from this most recent trip included touring the lighthouse keepers house at Heceta Head, picking salmonberries in the Rock Creek area, learning about coastal geology from a ranger at the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center - thanks Avery!, and then searching for Oregon Coast Agates on the local beaches.

Of course we also fit in a lot things that have become a “tradition” when we hit the coast…Yes, we are smitten…
