Wednesday, 02 May 2018 – Ecola State park

Very scenic view of Cannon Beach from Ecola State Park

Today we headed out to see Ecola State Park. The park is perched high on a hill/mountain with spectacular views of the coast. We spent a hour or so at the park just soaking up the views. You had a great view of the Haystack rock to the South and the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse on an island to the NorthWest.
Once through with the park we drove to Seaside, 6-miles North of Cannon Beach. Seaside has a nice retail downtown with the typical tourist stores. The weather was pretty and warm so we walked up and down the 3 block strip. After the stores we drove a couple of blocks East to the Seaside Brewing Company. We sat outside next to a gas fire-pit and really enjoyed the food.
We returned to the coach and Donna headed back to Cannon Beach (the beach) to read a book while Maverick and I hung out around the coach. While she was gone I installed one of my LED rope lights permanently under the edge of the coach and then relaxed in my hammock until Donna returned. She returned frozen by the beach breeze. After she warmed up she headed into town for a pedicure and to bring home chicken.
