Week 6: U.S. Tour

May 27 - June 3

6 weeks into our U.S. Tour and we are now in Seaside, Oregon. 

We set up camp at Seaside R.V. Resort as part of our Thousands Trails membership network of campgrounds. We arrived in town with enough daylight to venture into downtown seaside for dinner and then a short trip to cannon beach to begin our scouting process.  The next day, we headed back out to continue scouting our locations and making plans for the upcoming sessions. We were able to visit & explore during the process seeing: Hug Point, Arcadia Beach, Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park, The Wreck of the Peter Iredale, & Astonia.

During the process of exploring this strip of coastline and their cities, we had a lot of fun also taking in some of the scenic views and landmarks from the popular 80's movie "The Goonies".  Filmed and set in Astoria, we were able to see many key movie landmarks such as the Jailhouse still with the Fratelli's Jeep parked out front (Now the Oregon Film Museum), The Flavel House Museum, Mikey's & Data's houses, and back in Cannon beach the famous Haystack Rock & viewpoints from Ecola State Park.
