Miles Hiked Overall: 84.7 (136.3 km)
Today was another solo day hiking. I used the local bus again to do my shuttle. The first section was all walking on the beach, but just after getting to Waldport I had to walk the rest of the way on Hwy 101. High tide was not for a couple of hours but because of the big storm last night and early morning the tide was greater than expected. It was almost up to the grass on the beach, and most of the sand was wet and covered with water most of the time. The storm also littered the sand with many logs and other debris.
It was beautiful and sunny most of the day. I even walked with no coat on. Then by the end of the day it was raining and getting windy, so I got lucky with the weather for the second day in a row. As I mentioned above, despite the nice weather during the day the ocean was still very rough.
Sharing the road with the big trucks!

Love the seals and sea lions. I saw lots of seals playing in Alsea Bay today by Waldport, and also saw lots of seals playing in Yaquina Bay yesterday. I could watch them play for hours!
Karen,
ReplyDeleteSo glad the weather has at least stopped raining. Wind is a given for most of the time on the beach.
So wish you were near Newport this weekend, but understand. You know we would have had a warm bed and food for you. If your plan changes, come on by!!!!! ;-)
Keep on trekking my dear. You certainly have the determination to conquer the coast!
Stay warm and dry as much as possible.
Stacy
Thanks, Stacy...you're the best!
