Celia and I made a trip up the Oregon coast 10 or 12 years ago all the way to Astoria, where we spent three days taking in the sights. This picture was taken of the sunset over the mouth of the Columbia River from the motel we stayed at up river from Astoria. It was one of our best trips and we always wanted to return.

Ahhh yes, our Oregon Coast is the best! I think it is best driven from North to South so it's easier to pull out onto view points.
ReplyDeleteAstoria has a lot going for it, and there are some interesting historical sites to see there. I suppose it has plenty of nice hotels, cafes, brewpubs and more now. It's been several years since we've been there. I should check to see what available on vrbo or airbnb.
