As we headed south from Seaside we pulled over to enjoy the view of Cannon Beach in the fog and...
2009-09-18: Monolith
...and its incredible monolith Haystack Rock that is home to many species of nesting birds including the tufted puffin.
2009-09-18: Coach
We don't often include photos of our coach anymore so thought this might be a good time.
2009-09-19: Cape Kiwanda
The Cape Kiwanda monolith, also called Haystack Rock is unique as it has a small arch on one side.
2009-09-19: Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area

We had noticed that there were skydivers landing on the beach in Pacific City so we took off to find their landing zone. Our quest took us to the Bob Straub State Park.
2009-09-21: Sky Diver
The sky divers landed on the dunes, sort of packed their chutes and then had to walk back to the airport. Walking in the dunes hauling the parachute was not an easy task!
2009-09-21: Cape Kiwanda Monolith
The Cape Kiwanda monolith looks very different from the State Park because you can't see the arch.
2009-09-21: Little Nestucca
The Nestucca River not only has some of the best fishing streams in the state but is also a beautiful river that the pelicans love.
2009-09-22: Rabbits
Our campground was inundated with rabbits that were certainly not at all afraid of humans.
2009-09-24: D River
A trip into Lincoln City brought us past "D" River which connects Devils Lake and the Pacific Ocean. It is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's shortest river at 120-feet. Lincoln City was incorporated in 1965 when the communities of Oceanlake, Delake, Taft, Cutler City and Nelscott all combined into one larger city.
2009-09-26: Rally
We attended the Oregon Winnebago Rally where we met up with Frank and Deanna from our camping club. In case you can't guess, there was a pirate theme.
