After leaving Astoria, we knew there was a lot of coastal driving to go down scenic 101. We had so many people tell us to make sure we drive this way because it is so beautiful. Yes, the Oregon coastline is beautiful but not so fun to drive in an RV towing a cargo trailer. We could have spent a week stopping at every scenic overlook to take pictures. After a while, the scenery starts to look the same and you just want to hurry up and get to the next destination to relax the grip on the steering wheel.
We had booked a night at Jessie Honeyman State Park which is about a little over half way down the state coastline. Arriving after dark, we were pleasantly surprised to have water and electric hookups which were few and far between. We squeezed into our spot once again and sat by the campfire for a bit before hitting our pillows for the night. I believe that we were only on our site for 12 hours before it was time to go again.
The cool thing about Jessie Honeyman State Park was that you had the Pacific Ocean and all of the glorious rock cliffs, drift wood, tide pools, etc. then these huge sand dune areas emerge right next to it for ATVs, motorcycles and even sand boards (like a snowboard).
We let the kids swim in the lake nearby which seemed to be a very popular spot for youth camps and day use. Just what they needed before a long ride in the RV
What a long day that was indeed! Another full day of driving to get to California...
Oh so cool to go back and read this memory from 6 years ago. We have since sold out RV but often think back on all of our great adventures!
