Heading toward Washington State

Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Reserve

The dog walker's delight:  Sun and sand
WILLAPA, WA - - About once a week we bypass the state parks, BLM and Forest Service campgrounds and spend a night in a KOA or commercial campground.  Tonight we're doing just that.  It's laundry time and it makes more sense when the sun is shining on the coast to do the washing after the day's travel is finished.
     We wandered about 120 miles today with plenty of stops along the way, both in sun and hazy from the coastal mist/fog.  Last night we could see a trio of sea stacks from the beach at our ORSP camp site on Cape Lookout.  A fair drive up the twisting coast road we came to Oceanside.  The three stacks have been a National Wildlife refuge for over 100 years; a remedy to keep the nesting birds alive after years of target practice by 'rich' tourists.
