Continuing north, we passed two points-of-interest that were
on our list (the Sea Lion Caves and the Heceta Head
Lighthouse), but we continued onward to our planned campground because it did
not accept reservations, and we wanted the best odds of getting a spot, knowing
we could backtrack a few miles the next day to visit those POIs.
Arriving at the Carl
G. Washburne Memorial State Park in the Siuslaw National
Forest, we found that once again the drought had dried up the creek that ran
through the campground. But our campsite was surrounded by lush greenery and we
simply had another relaxing day, and took advantage of the campground’s showers.
