About a month or so ago, Stacey and I had a trail run in western Oregon near Portland. It was a 25k run called Hagg Lake Mud. Mud was what we expected, and mud is what we got. Temps were in the lower 40s, it rained (sideways) the entire time, it was windy, and the mud was thick. Anyway, we were so close to the coast that we just had to see it regardless of how tired we were. Here we're at Cannon Beach with Haystack rock in the background. I've seen this rock on countless calendars, and it was awesome to actually see it in person.
This picture was taken just north of Cannon Beach at Ecola State Park. All of Oregon's coast are public land. The cool upside to that is that it would be possible to walk the entire coast without anybody chasing you off their land. However, once you visit the Oregon coast, you realize that it'd be pretty much physically impossible due to the nature of the coastal cliffs.
Looking south down the beach at Ecola. I love the Oregon coast. I could do without some of the rain, but the wind didn't bother me a bit.
