Oregon Coast: A cool summer getaway
When the temperatures skyrocketed a couple of weeks ago, we hitched up the trailer and headed for the fog and cooler temps that the Oregon Coast is famous for. Having spent only two nights at one campground on our maiden voyage last June, we were eager to test our hookup skills on our second…
