Friday on the Oregon Coast

On Friday I let Kimbal sleep late, so he could kick his cold, while I relaxed at the camp site and read my book. Once Kimbal was up we went for a hike over the dunes to the beach. Actually, it was a hike around a small lake (in which we saw salamanders the night before), through the woods, over the dunes, and to the beach. There were big waves at the beach, a couple of surfers, and some rock jetties that sheltered some kind of aquaculture, oh yeah, and this sign:

Once we got back to camp, we packed up and headed south on 101 yet again. We stopped at a really cool candy shop in Bandon called Cranberry Sweets. You could sample most of their chocolates and jelly candies (which we did). Everything was really yummy-especially the dark chocolate mint creams. We left with a couple of goodies. I mean, we couldn't sample nearly everything and then walk out the of store empty handed! We also stopped at the beach in Port Orford and went for a walk to stretch our legs along the beautiful coast. As usual, we took lots of pictures:

We then stopped for the night at the Humbug state park campground. Another relaxing, beautiful day on the Oregon coast.
