Too Heck with the Oregon Coast and all it's WET

Monday, Sept. 20 - Heading EAST!

 It is a damp Monday morning. With the forecast not looking in our favour, we decided to make a major shift in our travel plans. Instead of countinuing down a damp and wet Oregon coast, we decided to head a short way down to Lincoln City and then head East to the drier interior. Our destination was still to be Yosemite National Park, but we were going to approach it via Reno, Nevada!

We turned off the highway to drive through Cannon Beach.  Another town we will definitely come back to when the weather is better!  Where Seaside was quaint, Cannon Beach was artistic – lots of shops and restaurants with quite a difference ambience – more expensive!

In Lincoln city, we did lunch at the famous Mo's Chowder House (verrrry goooood) overlooking the ocean. Then Ade had a great time buying clothes at the Factory Outlet Mall in Lincoln City, then it was on the road East. We made it to Interstate #5 and headed south for 100 miles to a rest stop at the southern end of Oregon where we spent the night.  To our surprise, as soon as we headed east, the sun came out at last!
