Newport, OR

After our long stay in Boise, we hit the road again to continue the adventure. We had planned to drive about half way to the Oregon coast and spend the night at either a rest stop or a truck stop, but when we got close to Portland there was no room, so we ended up pushing through and pulled into Newport at just after 10pm. It gave us an extra day in the area, but we were tired after 12 hours of driving. We spent the week exploring the Newport area. We walked the Nye Beach and Bay Front historic areas, visited Lincoln City, went to the aquarium, enjoyed several good seafood meals and Danelle even got a bonus beach day for the one day that the wind cooperated. I had a chance to walk the beach, which was my main goal for this stop, and have an overall relaxing week. My favorite place was the lighthouse and beach area around the Yaquina Bay. Our RV resort sat on the cliffs above a secluded beach and we were able to watch the sunset over the ocean from our coach. We definitely are planning to come back and spend more time in this area.
