At Cape Blanco, the supposedly most Westerly and windy point in the continental USA.Today I was amazed by the views and also treated to some lovely stone-arch, Art Deco bridges. If you can only see one portion of the coast, the Central Oregon coast is it.
One noteworthy mention is Brookings, OR, just before the California borders. I was warned by Buzz (see below), that it was 104F there, and he had come north to escape the heat. Well, he was right. The hot air moves into Brookings from inland, and it was smoking hot in town, but otherwise cool and manageable outside town.
I continued to blast on to stop at the Ship Ashore, one of those road-side oddities where you have to stop and have some Oyster Fry, before pulling into the Crescent City Hampton Inn.
Crescent City itself isn't much to speak of - much of it was destroyed in the 1964 Tidal Wave. Yes, they called them "Tidal Waves" back then, but it seems "Tsunami" has more shock value now. Still, the Hampton Inn sits right on the rocky beach, where we were entertained by a night-time Search-And-Rescue.
