Thursday, April 26th - Back to the Pacific Ocean

We left Chiloquin, OR around 9:30 this morning and drove about 270 miles to Newport, Oregon, smack on the Pacific Ocean! The drive on highways 97, 58 and 20 were beautiful and good roads. No snow issues, We stopped at the Dairy Queen in Oakridge and arrived at Outdoor Resorts - Pacific Shores around 3pm. We can see and hear the ocean in our parking spot. Yaquina Head lighthouse, still active, is a few hundred yards from our campground. We are able to see its operation clearly at night.

We ate dinner at Kam Meng Chinese Seafood in historic Newport, right on Yaquina Bay. The place doesn't look like much but we decided to take a chance ... good idea ... the food was great!
