Beachside State Park just south of Waldport. I'm behind a protective barrier of shrubs and small trees but with a view and a very short walk to a seemingly infinite beach, flat as a Wal-Mart parking lot in West Texas. Perfect spot to get hit with a little storm.
Tomorrow I'll run a few miles up the highway to Newport to play tourist, birding along the way. I'm hoping the predicted high winds will blow in some migrating birds from the ocean.
One never lacks for scenery on this highway.
