Day at the Beach

Saturday, August 7
Escape to the beach! We met up with some of Andrea's classmates at Cape Lookout for a 4.5 mi hike into the clouds: you could tell there was an ocean down there somewhere, but it was hidden in layers of fog. At the viewpoint, the mist was so thick you could see waves of it moving upslope in the wind. The dogs had lots of fun getting muddy and drinking from the stagnant puddles along the way.

After that, we went to Pacific City for some happy hour micro-brew (Tsunami Stout: woot!) and chowder. Then a nice cool down stroll with pooches along the beach. As we made our way to the cars a fine drizzle began...

Chili and Riley: "We love being in the back of a Subaru!"

Mist clearing just long enough to see the ocean.
