The Oregon Coast in August

Tasha and I had a delightful 3 nights down at the Sandwood beach place in Manzanita, Aug. 9-12. When we first arrived on Sunday afternoon it was one of those classic picture-perfect days on the Oregon Coast -- with bright sun, blue sky, little or no wind, and gorgeous cirrus clouds like giant horsetails in the sky. Taking advantage of the moment -- since showers were forecast for the next few days
-- we built a fire on the beach, cooked hot dogs and s'mores and simply soaked-in the scenery.

Off-and-on drizzle and showers did materialize the very next day, but both of of us had books to read and we thoroughly enjoyed the change of pace in one of our very favorite locations! - rw
