Beach-O-Rama 2012

First I'd like to thank Oregon State Parks for wising up and opening their yurts to our furry friends.  Then I'd like to thank Carl for taking advantage of that and booking us two nights at Harris Beach State Park.  We've stayed there before, and so far it's our favorite park in the state.  

The drive there just adds to all the fun.  From Ashland you have to head north to Grants Pass, turn west, and then drive south into California.  The road winds along the twisting, crystal-clear Smith River into the northern-most groves of giant redwoods before dumping you off at the coast.  Then turn north and drive back to Oregon where all the beaches are public.
It was Luna's first time to the beach.  Bubba knew what was going on, so he disappeared over the dunes towards the water immediately.  She followed right at his heels, excited because he was excited until she came over the rise and saw the endless expanse of sand and water.  You could almost see her little mind getting blown.  She's still leery of the surf, but loves all the new smells and kelp to chew and all that space to run.
 The two-legged folks found it pretty blissful, too.
 Carl being creative at the beach.  You can find the most interesting things...
Sunset at Harris Beach - Bubba was so tired he opted to stay in the yurt while we walked down to the view point.
