Pacific Coast Trip: Day 5, Newport to Astoria, OR
Like the night before,
we didn't get into our campsite till well after dark, so we
used this
morning to do some exploring around the Newport area. Our first stop
was back to Szabo's for a good breakfast, then we headed across the
street to the Yaqina Head Outstanding Area, which is a point that
sticks out into the Pacific and includes a light house that has been
active since 1873.
After exploring Yaquina head we started north to explore the rest of the northern coast of Oregon, with our final goal being Fort Steven's State Park in Warrenton, near Astoria.
After getting our Yurt lined up, and the heat cranking, we headed into Astoria to check out some of the sights before it got dark, get some dinner, and stock up on some snacks the the day to come.
We decided that we had better stock up enough so that if we couldn't find any restaurants open on Christmas day we would have enough food to get us by. We were also going to traversing the Olympic Peninsula, which is fairly sparsely populated, so we figured our odds of finding food would not be that great once we left Astoria.
