Yaquina River And More

There is a lot of talk about Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon but, not much conversation about the Yaquina River which flows westerly into the Bay.

It is approximately fifty miles long and, starts just west of Corvallis in the Siuslaw National Forest. In fact, as you head from Corvallis on Highway 20 to the coast you see it but, not necessarily at it's prime.

However, if you really want to take in a cool scenic route you have to travel the Yaquina Bay Road from Newport to Toledo or, vice versa. It follows the river to a "T" and, there are some cool stops along the way.

In a car, it's scenic but, not many places to pull over. Probably the best route is on a bike because it is easier to park along the way.

The first three photos here were taken in Toledo which is seven miles from Newport. The fourth photo was taken about halfway along Yaquina Bay Road.

There is a ship repair place right in Toledo. You see a little of this in the second and third pics. These are not small boats they are working on.

After the boats, there are a bunch of random photos taken in Toledo. One of my favorite places is the "Things Found Mercantile & Gallery"...really a different type of an antique store with extremely good prices on their merchandise. A five star place to visit.

We had lunch at "Gracie Mae's Bakery and Cafe"...a neat place to eat! Not just another boring place to eat! Cool grits! Check 'em out!

Yachats Oregon

If you ever visit the town of Yachats on the Oregon Coast a must place to visit is the "Little Log Church By The Sea". 

It looks small from the outside but that is a little deceiving...once you get inside there is more room than you think. Besides the main part of the church there is a museum which features historic information about the area. 

There are no longer any religious services held there. Although, they have musical and other functions from time to time. 

There is more to Yachats than just the "Little Log Church". There are some very nice gift stores nearby. And, some good eating places.
