I was finally able to finish off that last skipped section at Salishan spit. Parked at the end of Laurel Street in Gleneden Beach and walked out to the end of the spit.

I went back out to the coast today. It was a little cloudy this morning so it stayed above freezing for the drive down to Depoe Bay. It was actually in the mid 50s when I got there
I managed to knock out another skipped segment of the OCT. This time I got in the beginning 3.8 miles from the Peter Iredale
Just got back from a coast trip to fill in some gaps from last summer’s long section hikes.
I decided to day hike a couple sections of the OCT that I skipped this summer while backpacking.
Started by driving to Taft and catching the bus north to Devils Lake State Park
Broke camp by 7:30 and was back in Yachats before 9 AM. Had an awesome breakfast at the Drift Inn. Sat in a nice semi-outdoor courtyard area.
I found a nice little thru hiker style camp right next to the Amanda trail about halfway between the statue and the Lookout on top of Cape Perpetua.
Well, I made it to Beachside state park. It definitely is beachside, nestled in a very narrow strip of trees between the beach and the highway.
I am camped in the quite full hiker/biker camp at South Beach state park. Luckily I arrived early and got a good corner spot.
Back on the trail again after much indecision. This time I drove to Corvallis and parked near OSU and took the bus to Newport.
