This park is located about 20 miles south of Tillamook very close to the pacific ocean... lovely spot really and we have always enjoyed our visits to this park. For 1 thing they have wild bunnies and deer which adds a special flavor! Then they are right across the street from a very cool beach with tide pools... their very own 'haystack rock' which they like to boast about in town.. the park is on a hill and densly wooded which adds a bit of privacy... WHEN the weather is nice, it's a great place to have campfires... this year however our timing was off and we hit a very rainy, windy time! goodness the wind and rain pelted down on us and we stayed pretty much holed up inside..ha! Left today (the 29th) and had every thing hit us from rain, wind, hail, snow and finally sunshine! Lovely.. now at Long Beach, WA until Friday!!!
While Joyce and Dave were here visiting this winter we all decided we needed to go for a loop drive starting at Goldfield Ghost Town and up around Lake Roosevelt and Tonto National Monument and back thru the little town of Globe. Long day and cold! Miserably cold but we made the best of it.. didn't do the hike up to the ruins at Tonto National Monument due to cold season but had good time just the same. Do not recommend this loop drive since miles and miles are on a windy narrow dirt road but it was good to do once! ha! Enjoyed our little picnic and seeing the ring necked ducks and Great Blue Heron! Imagine such critters out there!
