June 4th, Cape Lookout SP, OR

We prepared to leave at a leisurely pace this morning as we only had about 50 miles to go. We stopped in Lincoln City, attended to laundry and then some grocery shopping as check in time is after 1 pm. We arrived about 2 pm.

Cape Lookout is on a scenic three-capes loop; Cape Kiwanda, Cape Lookout and Cape Meares. It is all southwest of Tillamook, OR. Cape Kiwanda is south of Cape Lookout.

The campground has a mix of sites; some very exposed with little vegetation and others deep into forests of mixed conifer and alder. We are in the wooded area and it is nicely protected from the wind. It was quite pleasant today with the temps in the upper 60s and just a mild breeze.

Many travel days involve short distances from one location to the next, setting up, then checking out what there may be to do in the area. There are a number of trails to walk and some viewpoints that we hope will provide us with wonderful new things to see. We have two full days here to explore. What better entertainment could we ask for?
