Trip Report

June 19-21, 2023 Yachats overnighter Leader: Scott Hovis

Our group of 7 met up Monday 2 pm in Yachats to drop luggage off at the beach house; carpooled back for various short scenic excursions -- quick walk to the Cape Perpetua Stone Shelter/CCC-built lookout, visits to the recently remodeled visitor center, Thor's Well, Devil's Churn, and Amanda trailhead for short jaunt to Amanda's Statue and suspension Bridge

We shared a fantastic potluck that evening. Tuesday at 8:55 we walked to the log church on 3rd Avenue to catch the bus for Walport for one dollar each (NW Oregon transit South County Connector).
We walked back on the beach about 8 miles, stopping for lunch and crossing several freshwater creeks. We took photos by The Big Stump, the remains of an ancient redwood tree which grew here about 1,750 to 1,850 years ago.
Arrived back at the house around 1:30. Lots of time for chatting, games, and fun.
In the evening we went to the Drift Inn for a nice dinner.
The weather forecast had called for some rain and drizzle but we lucked out with comfortable conditions of some breeze and sunny days.
