Oregon Coast

I'm covering the compass from Portland so today went west to the area between Astoria and Lincoln City. The Oregon Coast is beautiful with sandy beaches, rugged rocks, temperate rainforests, sandunes and many quaint towns and villages. Much of it reminded me of WAs southwest but with more habitation.

The weather was overcast and very misty but with an air temperature of 60F, I had no intention of finding out the water temperature so the greyness actually added to the beauty. Given the moss growing on tree branches and the ferny forest floor, 99.9% of days here must be pretty damp.
