This morning we started our day with a walk-about in Yachats, OR. We love this little village along Hwy 101. The town pretty much sits on the ocean. The rocks are incredible. After loading up the truck, we walked across the hwy and strolled along the cliff road, watching the waves crash against the rocks. At one point in our walk, we saw the waves spray up above the roof lines. We found the source.....a blow hole in the rocks right at the ledge. It's pretty weird and awesome to see all at the same time.
On our way back to the truck, we visited a local bakery. They had awesome pastries and breads that are made on site. We indulged in a prosciutto and goat cheese croissant topped with a wonderful herbed salt and an apple/berry tart. There were so many good things to feast our eyes on. Great restraint was deployed to not just feast on it all!
Once on the road, we traveled a little ways (not far.... mind you we are not in a hurry) and landed in Brandon, OR. What a quaint little place! The old town area is on the water front, at the end of the jetty. Look what greeted Dave on the railing of the boat dock. The Pelican was definitely not afraid of people!
One of our concerns is always where to park the motorcycle trailer at the end of the day so that it is not visible from the road. Side street, U-shaped parking lot, parking right outside the door works. Of course it must meet the other requirements - clean, queen bed minimum, fridge, coffee pot, close to a pub and grocery store. A breakfast in the morning is nice, but if not available we have our own breakfast foods (and lunch).
Here is our travel survival kit. We've learned over time that rooms just don't come with enough coffee packets. Or there is no coffee at all in the room. Hence we have our own coffee pot, filters and coffee. Cereal, peanut butter, jelly and assorted other sundries and we manage quite nicely. Don't leave home without It!
