September US adventure, Pt 2: Oregon
Alrighty, I won’t write part 2 in half the detail of the first part, but try and highlight the best of the
Sunday, we made up for lost sleep, and then explored the beach we were camping on. Our next campsite was less than 2 hours South, so after packing up we decided to leisurely tour the coast for the day, taking in the gorgeous scenery.
