Great Day! We left Bend about 9:30. Beautiful sun all day; temps in the lower 60's. After gassing up in Sisters, we took the scenic route over McKenzie Pass on rt 126 to Springfield and Eugene. What we witnessed up there was very sad. Just about a year ago, September 2020, the McKenzie Fire burned 173,000 acres. We noticed the burned timber all the way from the eastern side of McKenzie Pass, around the lava fields, and on down to the McKenzie and Blue rivers. A shame.
We joined Rt 101 in Florence and headed north. Just south of Yachats we stopped briefly at Cape Perpetua to check on the Devil's Churn, one of our favorite places to see the power of the waves!
We arrived at the Fireside Motel in Yachats about 5:00. After freshening up, we hiked north along Trail 804 which runs about 3/4 of a mile, ending at Salmon Beach. A great walk! We witnessed a pretty nice sunset to boot! The shoreline at Fireside is awesome! Crashing waves!
We enjoyed a great dinner at an upscale place call ONA. First meal of fish and chips!
Tomorrow we work our way up to Lincoln City.
