Post setting for the vegetable garden. Crimson clover is on the outside perimeter of the fence. View attachment 292682View attachment 292683View attachment 292684
We came thru in the spring and all the B&Bs and motels hotels had signs out say come on in and make a offer on a room.I think I would do it in the fall, especially if you want to stay somewhere or camp out.
Weather might not be as nice but the peak tourism months here are mid May through late August and the traffic can be grueling. Just getting through
Lincoln City alone during the day in the summer months can take 90 minutes.
Campgrounds will be completely full the entire time and hotels raise their rates. Lines will be long at restaurants, gas stations, coffee shops, gift shops, and
other tourist traps. Tourists routinely stop in the middle of the highway to take a picture or figure out where they're going. Stores will be sold out of
popular items and take days or weeks to restock.
If you do come in the summer though, Newport will be having fireworks on Yaquina bay for July 4th and you can go down to the docks on the bayfront and
check out the Sea Lions - they hang out all day on the docks just up from the big fish processing plant.
@jacob j. it will probably be late summer after school starts but still hot here, and we will be sick of the heat, makes it that much better. Go see my dad in WA, friends in Idaho, hopefully some of you fellers.
