Nehalem Bay State Park - Oregon

Morning on Rockaway Beach

Ari & Lennox on the beach

Our campsite is at a slant, so we used these levels to help get the trailer more level. 

When we went into town yesterday, Ari put this lock on our trailer. It prevents thieves from hooking up your trailer and taking off with it.

The horses' new digs at Nehalem Bay State Park

I wanted to book a campsite on the beach at least once before we headed into Washington and the inner states, so here we are at Nehalem Bay State Park. The drive in was full of twists and turns, but once we got here we inhaled the sea air and relaxed.

The campground is pretty crowded, but the trails are empty and we have had the beach all to ourselves every time we have gone down there.

The horses continue to behave well.

This was the first time I had taken Mercy to the beach and I was a bit nervous, but he was fine. Beaches can be stressful on horses due to the noisy waves. We didn't take the horses into the water, but rode on the sand.

Lennox has been to Muir Beach and other beaches, so he was fine.

The trails are wide in most places and not rocky, mostly flat. It's an easy ride.

It's cold and breezy here, so quite different from our last stop. We are down to our last few days in Oregon before we cross the border into Washington state.
