Introduction

We are off to.... is our Blog to allow family, friends, and others that are interested to follow us on our extended RV travels.

We aren't full time RVers but like to take extended trips of a month or more as often as we can. We prefer public agency campgrounds like State and National Parks, US Forest Service, etc. We do use some RV Parks if they are the closest or most convenient place to things we want to see or do.


We will attempt to provide information on the various campgrounds we stay in, things to do in the area, and pictures of what we see.

Hike on Cape Lookout Trail

We woke to a beautiful sunny day with clear sky and no fog on the horizon.  OK so it was almost 8 am but we enjoyed sleeping in.

The plan for today was to hike the Cape Lookout Trail which is 4.8 miles round trip with some tough stretches climbing over and through the roots in the trail.  There are some muddy spots but some have short boardwalks to get around the mud.  We made it about 1 3/4 miles out when our friends which covered the trail faster than we could were coming back to meet us.  They got to a spot where the mud was over ankle deep with no route around.  Much of the trail is on the edge of cliffs so it is the trail or over the edge.   So all decided it was much better to return to the trial head.

Tomorrow we plan to spend some time on the beach and let the dogs run.  Next we may go into Tillamook in the afternoon.  The nice weather is supposed to continue for the rest of the week.  As I said before, the is the best time of year for the good weather on the coast.
