Santa Monica and Venice Beaches It was 60+ degrees. In February. So not so many tourists. We wimped out and skipped the side of Venice Beach where we were most likely to see the interesting characters.

It’s been a while since I posted about the Oregon trip, and I really have only a few posts to go, so I’m going to try to finish up. We should have anticipated that a Nerky outing featuring a stroll down the Hobbit Trail would be the best hike of the trip. After a short drive from Yachats to [...]
