If you are having fun on the coast, then keep following it (just note that the CA State Parks do not come close to comparing with the OR State Parks)If you haven't experienced them, you will find the Oregon State Parks to be awesome....and that time of year, reasonably priced too.

Have fun....and don't forget your rain gear,
