Umpqua Lighthouse, OR and Newport Beach / Nye Beach, OR

The Clipper waiting to get loaded up for the yurt/camping trip


A nice fall drive towards the coast.  We saw a black bear cross the road and a large herd of elk in a field.





The "deluxe" yurt


The stormy Oregon coast

Green mossy trees are abundant during the "rainy" season

"Yappy-Hour" and "Food Truck  Frenzy" at the Willamette Humane Society.  Tinker was nervous we were going to take her back to the pound.  She played in the "mellow and mild" dog park section.  We all headed home together once the rain started.  

Tinker inconsolably tired
