Trip Report

October 21st-23rd, 2024 Yachats overnighter Leader: Scott Hovis/Nikki Frank<br />
<br />
Our group of 6 met up Monday 2 pm in Yachats to drop luggage off at the beach house and then took off on a one hour hike in a loop around the town of Yachats<br />
<br />
We put together a nice potluck that evening, followed by hilarity as we played the board game Telestrations.<br />
<br />
Tuesday at 8:55 am 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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Arrived back at the house around 2:00. <br />
In the evening we went to the Drift Inn for a nice dinner.<br />
Wednesday morning, Scott prepared breakfast (with some help) -- Scrambled eggs, hash browns, raisin bagels, veggie and meat sausages, coffee, and orange juice.<br />
We lucked out with the weather and had sunny days.<br />
