Curry County

Low 50's and high winds on the Oregon Coast!
So far Curry County on Oregon's south coast ranks near the top of my list.  Why, you ask?  Consider the following:
  • I visited the western most porta potty in Oregon and possibly the entire mainland west coast.  No other county can beat it, since Cape Blanco juts out 5-6 miles into the ocean.  
  • Our stay near Port Orford at Humbug State Park was great.  We loved the beach and went on a nice hike up Humbug Mountain.
  • It was great fun and Allison was very giggly and everything I said was funny. That made for a great campfire time. One night it came out that Evan told his sisters his inner-girl was coming out. He denied it and we were all laughing. In the morning we learned the backstory: the girls were teasing that Evan was a girl’s name and he finally said ‘fine my inner girl is coming out’. Belly laughs for breakfast!
  • Campsite was pretty tight but neighbors were quiet and friendly.
  • Eugene weather was in the 90’s and the it was 70’s at Humbug and low 60’s elsewhere on the coast. 
  • Cape Blanco was fogged in and in the 50’s after 11 and the wind was blowing 30 mph. We ran to the gift shop and opted not to take the guided tour. The staff became less friendly when we didn’t buy anything and listened to the tour guide without paying. We took some pics of the lighthouse and ran laughing about the wind back to the van.
