Sunset Bay State Park Yurt Camping Trip Day 3
Again, a bitter cold night at Sunset Bay. The temperature dropped from a 36F high to a 21F low. Burr!
The vinyl covering on the sofa and bed were cold. The yurt walls of vinyl and canvas were cold. I used 3 sleeping bags, and 2 large blankets, and was always fully dressed inside the yurt. The space heater in the yurt was no match for 21F weather. Luckily, the wind never blew on this visit.
I found it uncomfortable to go walking for more than 30 minutes when the weather hovers between 25F-35F.
Weather reports from Karen and from local fishermen at the Arrago Cafe in Charleston OR, told me snow was expected Thursday morning. Since I needed to drive 75 miles from the coast to Interstate 5 in Roseburg via the Coquille River valley, through many coastal mountains, with the road shaded on both sides by forests; thus, snow and ice would be a serious driving hazard. Therefore, I packed up this morning and drove back to my home in Vancouver.
Weather reports predict snow and ice in Vancouver on Thursday; and an atmospheric river is hitting California this month.
Lately, I have been working on reading and writing sonnets and longer poems:
A Gift of Dried Garlic Flowers
25 Steps and Beyond: Collected Works
