Yachats, Oregon

We finally arrived in Yachats on September 17 amidst heavy rain and fog to meet up with Yondi and Daniel.  We were excited to have another chance to visit with them and see the sights of the Oregon Coast.

Yondi & Daniel were anxious to show us the sights.  After looking at all the options, we chose the Sea Lion Cave for our first outing.  The day was drizzly and almost all of the Sea Lions decided it was a good day for them to be outside the cave so there was only one lonely Sea Lion left by himself inside.

Many of the Sea Lions were in the waters just outside the cave and on the rocks on the coast.

Sea Lions would ride the waves to get on the rocks

Hope you enjoy seeing & hearing the Sea Lions playing on the rocks

The next morning as we got up, there were visitors at the house in Yachats...

4 deer (2 on the left of the picture & 2 on the right)

They took their time munching on the landscaping

The view from the house was awesome with the ocean just across the road.

Guess which one doesn't live in the Pacific Northwest?

We took an afternoon and went to Newport, OR to have lunch and look through the shops.  While we were there we went out on one of the piers and saw the Sea Lions who have taken up residence there.

We took an afternoon and took a leisurely stroll along the coast in Yachats.  It was beautiful...and chilly!

Beautiful!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and it was time for us to move on.  We wanted to make it to Malibu and be on the Santa Monica Pier to see the riders in the Cannonball Run come in.  Next stop....Malibu.
