It took us about 3.5 hours to get from Fort Stevens State park near Astoria to South Beach State Park near Newport. We traveled US-101 all the way. I had talked with a person while at Fort Stevens that said 101 was boring. He said the coast looked the same the whole trip. He was wrong. It was a nice drive traveling through small towns along the way. Some of the views of the coast were outstanding. We first pulled into Beverly Beach State Park north of Newport but it didn’t look like we could get much Satellite TV in there and we had no cell phone reception so we moved on to South Beach. No problem here. You really can tell we are on the coast here with the sound of 2 fog horns in the distance and if you listen carefully you can hear the seals on the jetty. The photo is one of the lighthouses here in Newport. This one is unique because it combines the light keepers house and the light in the same building. We will be spending 3 nights here before moving on further down the coast.
