We got a perfect spot in Newport at the Whaler’s Rest RV Park. The park is nice and just on the other side of HWY 101 from the beach. There is a trail to the beach even. We really like this park.
Then we headed to McMinnville to the Evergreen Air & Space Museum. It was pretty cool…they have the actual Spruce Goose. It is certainly impressive…I couldn’t even get a full photo of it!
This is a water park on the property that has tubes going through the plane on top of the building!
Afterwards, we went across the highway to Galen McBee Airport Park, with the intent of letterboxing, but unfortunately, we just found lots of mud and bugs! It was a fun hike though!
We visited the lighthouses in Newport, Yaquina Head and Yaquina Bay.
I met a fellow letterboxer. We spend a couple days boxing and visiting. She gave me some tips and tricks to the letterboxing life.
Ed and I visited Depoe Bay, I was heartbroken that my little café that I loved has permanently closed. They had the best clam chowder!
We also visited the Hatfield Marine Science Center, which I had never been to. It was pretty cool! There is a Giant Pacific Octopus there that is super cool. You can see her sometimes on the OctoCam https://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/visitor-center/exhibits/octocam
We did a lot of letterboxing in Newport and the area. Ed is finally coming around to it! LOL If you are interested in learning more about letterboxing, here is a link to check out https://www.atlasquest.com/ It certainly has taken us to some beautiful and interesting places!
