Oregon Coast 4th of July Weekend
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2010 11:19 am
We headed over to Cape Perpetua for the holiday weekend. Drizzly drive over Friday morning but the rest of the weekend provided us with plenty of sunshine and mild temps.
Scored a set of Thule 953/Super High towers & crossbars on Craigslist last week... timing was perfect as it allowed me to transport the 11'3" stand-up paddle board. The rear towers & bar can be removed & replaced in a couple of minutes for popping the top... and no drilling/mounting into the fiberglass top required
First-come sites at Cape P campgrounds... got lucky with this nice private spot.
After setting up & paying for the camp site, we quickly headed out for Yachats. Bloody Mary, clam chowder, and World Cup put us in a great mood as we headed back to camp for the evening.
The Cape P campground offers some nice hikes through old growth forest.
Sunday we drove up to Newport to spend the afternoon with friends and spend some time in the ocean. Inaugural wave riding with the SUP -- what a blast. Now if I can teach my wife how to use the zoom function on the camera...
