The Amazing Oregon Coast

 This is where we will be living for a few months now.  This view is right off of the back of the pad where the coach is parked.  The nice grassy area also has a horseshoe pit, big fire ring and a plastic hydrant (for dogs).

 Not too far south from us is this magnificent view of the coastline.

 We pulled off of hwy 101 and took this little road down to the beach.  We thought our doxie Chloe was getting car sick (not!).  But instead we got treated to this awesome view.  Wow.

We daily take a walk on the beach.  Today we ran across a couple of sections of beach with these roundy formations.  There is nothing inside but sand as well.

 The size of this fungus is approx the diameter of a baseball.  It's the first time I saw this type and they were just emerging from the soil.

 Sandy Ridge trail is a nationally known mountain bike trail.  The weekend of August 9th was the site of a race with as much as 250 to 300 riders.  It attracted professional riders.  You can see some of the vendor tents here.  Some of the bikes here are worth $5000 to $6000.

 Here's the finish line.  Although out of the frame the time keepers were just behind the tree on the left hand side.

Although we are leaving Wildwood Recreation for the Oregon coast we must not forget that it IS a Black Bear and Mountain Lion Habitat!  Cool!

 We saw this pretty cool fungus on a recent walk.  It's about the size of half an angelfood cake and it's hard to the touch.

 A couple of evenings ago this mother and what we think are twins came out of the forrest to snack.  I took this picture through the window of our coach.  Unfortunately the camera thought it needed a flash but the window of the RV effected the clarity.

 These ducks were off of the boardwalk that winds itself through the wetlands here at Wildwood.  The Wildwood Wetland Trail and Boardwalk is a 1 mile loop.

 This big tree growing around a giant rock is found at the trail head of the Bolder Ridge Trail in Wildwood.

What we've noticed in this part of Oregon is all the nursery's.  I think we found the Dr. Seuss trees!

 Cathy is posing alongside a great sculpture of Steelhead and Chinook at the beginning of the Stream Watch Trail.  The Salmon river is about 100 feet behind her through the forest.  Although we haven't seen any (yet) the Salmon are expected to be coming up the river this month.

This is where we work!  What a great day use park.
