Manzanita, Oregon

Repost from January 22, 2022:

Today, I remained in the small town of Manzanita all day.  I ate at local restaurants and shopped a little.  I read quite a lot today--sheltered from the steady rain.  

Plenty of forest trails, sand dunes, and seashore to wander and walk about in your rainproof gear.  

Fog, drizzling, misting, low clouds, cold, light rain ... and quite windy at times.  

I enjoyed sitting in my Ford Escape and taking in the dramatic seaside view from the road at Neahkahnie Beach.  Moderate surf today.  

I visited Horse Camp Cove many times today.  However, a prison crew were removing shrubs and it was a bit noisy today.  Driftwood was again piled high along the high tide mark in this little cove area.  

I had some ASUS laptop problems this morning, and no charged batteries for the Rebel T7 and no charger.  Thus, some of my Photography projects will wait till later.
