January Sunset

I'm starting to get the itch to go somewhere. We've been driving a tiny Toyota Corolla for the past 13 years. Just today we bought a new MINIVAN! I am so excited for our next excursion! We have so much room in this new vehicle, it is really exciting to consider our options! We could totally do our yurtcation down the Oregon Coast now that we have room to haul stuff for a week! Hmmmmm.

After seeing a photo of some friends on the beach at Ocean City state park, I'm inspired to plan our next trip! My sister has invited us to Suncadia in April which I am already looking forward to!  So I'm thinking Marchish for a trip to Ocean Shores and Grays Harbor lighthouse (and maybe Destruction Island lighthouse as well)...we could do yurt or hotel. Tough decision.

Welcome to our family travel, outing and hiking blog.

This is my special place to document our weekend adventures, trips and recreation. We enjoy hiking, visiting lighthouses and exploring nature in the Pacific Northwest.

Why Milepost 167?
One of my favorite locations on Highway 101 is Cape Perpetua Scenic Area...milepost 167 (south of Yachats, Oregon). This gloriously beautiful stretch of rocky beach is home to the Devil's Churn and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean that captive me.
