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.
The pictures are very scenic and glad that the weather so far has been beautiful.
