Camp Westwind is one of those areas of the Oregon Coast that is not or has not been easily accessible, especially to the public. That made our excursion today that much more exciting, we were allowed into Camp Westwind, well more like , invited into the most amazing and pristine beauty, natural beauty on the Oregon Coast.

Kites and Kite Surfing at Roads End Oregon Coast
Posted by Lincoln City Oregon Coast
Being a transplant from Southern California, I probably look at things just a little different than a “local” who has lived here all their life. I think that is a good thing.
Our little hidden treasure on the Oregon Coast still strikes me with awe every time I see it, namely the beach or any beach here on the Oregon Coast. For some people they may relate to the mountains, or the desert or ?
For me, it is the beaches of Oregon that call to me.
It is the love of those Oregon Beaches that gets me out of my home ( in Otis Oregon) and going even just into town in Lincoln City Oregon to take a peak. You will never catch me ever not taking a peak. I absolutely love any time of year on the coast, but especially summer time. Why? because it brings other folks like me, who simply just want to be there, be around the ocean, be a part of feeling the amazing wonder of this beautiful awesome coastline.
Something I have really been amazed with since I now call Oregon Coast my home: people that come to the coast find ways to enjoy our coastline that even I had no idea could be done … Kite Surfing I had never seen until recently. And oh my gosh, people fly really big kites , huge/ humungous kites right from our very own Lincoln City Oregon Coast Beaches …
I love to see the “tourists” come and show us all the wonder and beauty of where we live. Part of me is selfish in that thought because it helps our very own local economy, which is predominantly dependent on the tourist season (summer).
So to each and every one of you folks who love the beach as I do (or not) , thank you for all you bring and all you spend and all you enjoy of our local wonder and hidden treasure on the Oregon Coast.

Ginger Saves Seniors Life on the Oregon Coast
Posted by Lincoln City Oregon Coast
There are many senior citizens along the Oregon Coast. They are the folks who have either grown up at the coast or the ones who move to the Oregon Coast on purpose after they retire. The seniors are the folks you are most likely to see walking daily on the Oregon Beaches. Today I came across a beautiful vibrant 70 year old woman walking with her dog Ginger. This dear lady was wearing short sleeves, walking briskly in brisk winter weather and had the most beautiful smile as she approached me.
First I met Ginger, a little long haired Doxie – Chihuahua mix breed 3 year old happy dog. She hesitated, I spoke and she ran up to greet me. Then her companion, this dear lady approached and began to share with me the story of Ginger and how she saved her life. This lady who lives on the Oregon Coast, alone in a trailer park, had adopted a Corgie pup. She had found that the Corgie pup was very active and getting up all through the night. The lady felt bad and decided it would be best to give the Corgie back to the family for placement with a younger family. The lady was really grieving over missing her young pup and had become very depressed and withdrawn. Then a neighbor came by and said Ginger’s owner had passed away and Ginger really needed a good home. Ginger was of course already house trained and was used to being a lap dog to her invalid previous companion.
This dear lady immediately was moved deeply by adopting Ginger and began walking again on the beach daily, sometimes twice daily. She and Ginger are inseparable. As I thanked her for sharing, I shook her hand and wished her a Merry Christmas … and of course Ginger sat up with a smile on her face and said good bye.
I knew I truly had witnessed something so vital to us all, we need to be needed and we need someone to motivate us. For Seniors living alone, what better than to have a loving pet walk with us daily on the beautiful Oregon Coast.Thank you Ginger
Oregon Coast From on High

We drove up a random logging road and discovered the panoramic photo opportunity of a lifetime. I was certainly grateful we were in a 4×4 truck, Dogde Ramcharger to be specific, yes Miles I am and was grateful.
The further we went, the more nervous I became. And then, I ‘saw the shot, I saw the view’ that you all will see in the video… Thank you Miles for bringing me to this random road, this logging road to genuinely find what most would not see of the Oregon Coast looking over Lincoln City Oregon Coast !
Tidepooling Lincoln City Oregon Coast
Posted by Lincoln City Oregon Coast
We decided to end our 2011 by adventuring! We drove onto the beach at North 15th Street in the Oceanlake district. It was a bit nippy, however tons of people were out and about enjoying the beach as well. I have always been fascinated with tidepools and every chance I get, I am looking for any type of sea life. The adventure with the high tide on New Years Eve was fun even though, because of high tide, we did not get to see too much. We absolutely love the ocean and all of it’s highs and lows The video is a little long, however great shots and gets you into the spirit of adventuring tide pools on the Oregon Coast just for the fun. Enjoy !
