Early this year when we turned down several volunteer opportunities
we were forced to ask ourselves, “Where did we really want to volunteer next?” The answer was, we would like to volunteer somewhere
on the Oregon Coast during the hot time of summer. At the top of our list was
Beaver Creek State Nature Area. Today we
experienced the results of following through with what we wanted; we arrived at
Beaver Creek State Natural Area.
This is where Beaver Creek flows into the ocean at Ona
Beach. This morning it was foggy and 65
degrees, a mile up Beaver Creek is where the Welcome Center is located, and and where we will be staying, it
was sunny and 70 degrees. It stayed in the mid 70’s here today and I know the
Willamette and Umpqua Valleys were in the 90’s.
I think our plan has worked out just fine.
More photos and details tomorrow.
You three were lucky to get away from the Salem valley when you did. 97 yesterday and a degree or more today! You done noble!
ReplyDeleteLarry-- we consider ourselves VERY lucky, and that was the plan.
ReplyDeleteTough task to stay at such a degree. Nice post.
