It is a rainy and foggy day. I saw this beach bunny in the campground.

Some sort of tide pools, with no visible life in them. The bus on Halloween. No tricker treaters stopped by, of course it was foggy, rainy and we are in the middle of no where.

Today was sunny and beautiful. The bus at Beachside state park. We drove down the road to Cape Perpetua. This is Devil’s churn. It has HUGE waves that go into this slot and bounce around, get bigger, it is fascinating to watch.

One of many small creeks entering the ocean on the trail. This is Thor’s well behind  a tide pool, waves come up in this hole and shoot out. There is a formation called spouting horn farther down the beach, but it only spouts at high tide and we were there going on low tide.

Really cool clouds and orange cliffs. Tide pools with reflected sky , greenery and ocean.
