Oregon Vistas and Vineyards - Part III

We initially intended to head south to Florence and the Oregon Dunes for a full day; however, there was so much to enjoy in the Newport area and at Ocean House that we decided to save the South Coast for another trip. On our final night, we enjoyed our own Dungeness Crab feast with all the trimmings and wine compliments of Ocean House on the patio overlooking the cove.

Note: It was just 136 miles from Astoria to Ocean House and with stops it took eight hours of white-knuckle driving for much for much of the way.Continuing south to Brooking on the California lines offers equally dramatic scenery and interesting stopover and another 200 miles behind the wheel. Next trip.  Now it is time to head inland for the vineyards.
