I've been stopping at this quilt shop on my way up the Oregon Coast annually for at least 15 years now. Have stopped at almost every the quilt shop on the entire Oregon Coast at one point in time or another, and this one always seems to be my favorite!! Great selection & variety, quality fabric & supplies, friendly & helpful staff and a well laid out floor plan that's not too cramped.

How about a lighthouse on a wet, gusty, foggy day?! We were only going to take a picture and get back in the car, but the woman in the shop urged us to walk up to the lighthouse and take the tour - so glad we did! The volunteer tour guides were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable - and the views from up in the tower were just amazing!

We had a hard time finding good maps for this hike, despite a fair number of on-line reports. In the end, we found our very old Sullivan Coast Hiking Guidebook was still accurate for the "northern loop" hike (about 4.5 miles, 500 feet up/down). We parked at the road end by Hughes House and hiked along the Sixes River on an obvious trail to the beach. We hiked the route close to high tide - but it was fine... just soft sand for about a mile. A few days before, we hiked Blacklock point (to the north) - and it was fun to see that from here, along with a lot of sea stacks. The trail up from the beach has a very small Oregon Coast Trail marker - so you need to stay alert. It's a decent but short climb to the road - where there is a gate/parking lot. We chose not to visit the lighthouse (about 0.5 miles down the gated road). We hiked the road about 0.25 miles and found the first of several junctions back to the car/trailhead. Although the trails were obvious, there were several junctions to check carefully. Half the route was in the open, but half was in dark and sort of eerie woods. The final half-mile is in an "open range" pasture of grass where cows may be grazing. We were the only ones on this trail the whole time we were there - which was shocking because it was sunny, warm, and only slightly windy (compared with earlier in the week).

My father spent many summers staying at this house s a teenager while working at the ranch that is now a state park. He dug irrigation ditches with dynamite, blew up stumps, ran sheep and cows and lots of other chores. Most of the appliances as furnishings were there when he was. There is so much detail in the the workmanship of this house. Be sure to see the lighthouse a couple miles further up the road. There is a nice modern campground there as well. Dr. M

This park is a super well maintained with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. The park offers showers, power and water hookups and a very friendly group of people caring for the huge area. If you stay at the south end of the park the wind can be a bit overwhelming at times, but you’ll soon get over that, as the park itself is awesome.
