Miles Hiked Overall: 71.6 (115.2 km)
Today was another solo day hiking. I took the local bus from City Hall in Newport to Seal Rock State Park and then walked back to Newport, 12.4 miles.
Today was beautiful. Finally!!! The day started out sunny and warmish with blue sky, It got progressively cloudy, but the rain held off until late in the afternoon and the first drops of rain started falling as I walked back into Newport. The wind was quite strong, but was from the south and hence at my back the entire day which was a pleasant change from having the wind blowing in my face.

I walked along the beach almost all day until I reached the the south jetty of the Yaquina River, and then headed inland. During the entire day I saw maybe 10 people total. I have driven across the beautiful Yaquina Bay Bridge countless times, but walked across it today for the first time ever. Wow, sooo windy. After I crossed the bridge I even had enough energy to walk down to the bay front shops and buy some of the caramel corn that I need to have every time I am in Newport. All in all a great day.
