Our combined summer/winter trip starts on the
Oregon Coast at Winchester Bay.
Our itinerary includes visits from Winchester Bay to
Newport, Harrisburg, Salem and Portland.
Umpqua Lighthouse sits on a hill overlooking
the Umpqua River and Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay.
Our favorite campsite overlooks the Winchester Marina.
The Umpqua Triangle Oyster Farm sits below the sand dunes and lighthouse.
Oysters are grown on 15 ft. lengths of rope hanging below the water surface. A few million seeds attach themselves to oyster shells on the rope. Two to four years later sweet and clean oysters are harvested.
Downtown Reedsport visitors are attracted to this wood carver's shop.
Wood carvings and flowers line main street.
Dean Creek Elk viewing area two miles east of town. About 100 Roosevelt Elk
are attracted to this area due to mild climate and abundant food.
