Lincoln City, Or


We left Coos Bay, Or and proceeded up the coast to our next stop. We didn't make reservations and decided we would find a place along the way. We stopped a number of times along the way at vista areas and a couple of coffee shops and ended up in Lincoln City, Or. We stayed at Ocean View RV Park on Hwy 101. Nice park, pull thru's are a joke and the back ins are not bad. We stayed for a couple of days and saw some of the local fare. They have some nice beaches with very rough waves coming in for a long way. Didn't see any surfers and didn't see as many hippies as we did further south. The trip north was cool and mostly cloudy, and it was all along the waters edge. We went through an arched tunnel that the center height was 14'4" and the edge was 11'1". Our fifth wheel is 13' , so we had to encroach into the other lane for the length of the tunnel. No on-coming traffic until the very end of the tunnel. We got lucky. We only travelled 140 miles on this leg of our journey, but it was enough. With all the twists and turns it kind of wears on you. Lincoln City is long, about ten(10) miles, four little towns that merged to become Lincoln City, Or. We relaxed there except for our walk on the beach with the stairs coming up to the street. The folklore is there are 80 steps down and 280 coming up. Good time was had by all. Love to All,
Cris & Bob
