Lincoln City, OR – For the past week, we lived on the Siletz River, 4 miles south of Lincoln City, OR.

The RV park caters to fishing enthusiasts. The bait shop, people fishing off the dock and boats trolling through the river inspired us. We just had to get some fish! Hurrying to the local fish market, we returned with our fresh catch for dinner! Fishing, the Wagstaff way!

The next day, we treated Betty to a spa day. Translation: we spent several hours washing and drying her! A bit south of Lincoln City is Depoe Bay. Its claim to fame is that it has the world’s smallest navigable harbor. 
Hats off to the skippers on the day we visited as boats rocked and rolled through the narrow jetty!

We back tracked to Newport, OR and visited Yaquina Head, a 100 acre site designated as an Outstanding Natural Area and managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Park rangers dressed in 1890’s period attire give scheduled tours of the lighthouse.

The interpretive center is worth a visit and Cobble Beach is a must. The “beach” consists of smooth, black cobble stones, the size you would pick up and throw through a window (just a visual!) When the waves rush onto shore the stones roll and jumble creating an unusual clacking sound. It took Mother Nature 14 million years to create this beach from hot lava to eroded fragments.

On our final day, we trekked to Drift Creek Falls. The best view of the 75-foot-long waterfall is from across the 100-foot-deep canyon and there is just one way to get there: a 240-foot-long suspension bridge! It’s safer than it sounds….just sways a little bit. So, this sums up our Lincoln City area adventure with the exception of field trip we took to McMinnville, OR which deserves its own headline (stay tuned).
