Cape Lookout & Whiskey Creek

After a slow morning, we took a trip to the Pacific City Post Office to get the clips for our Roadmaster Tow Defender equipment. Glenn's Welding kindly mailed them after forgetting to give them to us at the time of purchase. This will give our car a little more protection from rocks and road debris.



We were feeling a little bit better and decided to take a ride up the coast to Cape Lookout State Park. This is a beautiful park right on the dunes next to the ocean. Another section of the park is for the off road vehicles that love to play in the acres and acres of sand dunes. We watched a couple of them roar up and down the dunes, spinning circles and having a ball.


The road through the Oregon State Park winds up hill and then back down to the camping area. The views are fantastic even when the weather doesn't cooperate.


On the way home, we drove past the Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery Volunteer Project. It was drizzly and cold but we stopped to check it out. A lovely, gentle lady greeted us and said that the hatchery wasn't really open but that we were welcome to look around and take some time to feed the fish in the Lake Loren pond. We didn't have any quarters for the fish food so she filled a couple of containers for us for free and encouraged us to take our time and enjoy the hatchery.


It's difficult to take pictures of fish in a pond on a grey day. But they were phenomenal. The rainbow trout were easily between 15 and 20 pounds. And they loved to be fed. Thank you Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery!
