after doin a load of laundry, and a few good bye's, i headed towards the coast once again...this time during the daylight. one cannot forget the great shopping i did at win-co...great prices, lots of selection, but probably less good for you than the co-op. anyways, i went back to newport and got to go see the lighthouse that i couldnt see because it closed due to being dark on my way to barbara's. while there, i received a call from mom. it was a great talk, thanks. from there i headed down the coast.
ever since the early start of this trip, i have said that i want to make this camping thing as free as i could...and so with this motivation in mind, i tried to head down on oregon's coast somewhere it would have been free to camp. this being one road in oregon's national dune area. however, this road turned out to be a dirt road, frequented by trucks and usually trucks with dirt bikes or four wheelers. needless to say this was not a nice road for a car to go down...especially when it was expecting rain the next day. so the plan changed and i figured i would try and head further down the coast to see what i could find. the plan was to not head to far down the coast because i needed to be in coos bay to try and pick up a digital camera (since mine had broken).
after driving down the road a little bit, i managed to find a state park and check that out for campsites. well, the campsites were all pay...but you know me, my mind was at work to try and find a way to circumvent the whole...paying thing. well, not much one can do in the way of worming out of paying where parking is limited and usually regulated. but good thing about umpqua lighthouse state park, was that up by the lighthouse there was an overlook. this overlook did not have any specific signs that said one could not park there overnight...so i took them up on their absence of said legal binding signs.
wasnt the best night's sleep...nor the worst...but i did sleep.
