Continuing north, we passed two points-of-interest that were on our list (the Sea Lion Caves and the Heceta Head Lighthouse), but we continued onward to our planned campground because it did not accept reservations, and we wanted the best odds of getting a spot, knowing we could backtrack a few miles the next day to visit those POIs.

Arriving at the Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park in the Siuslaw National Forest, we found that once again the drought had dried up the creek that ran through the campground. But our campsite was surrounded by lush greenery and we simply had another relaxing day, and took advantage of the campground’s showers.
