Seaside Beach Bum
Beach Camping, Seaside, OR
He noticed that the military Humvees had already flanked his position while he was drying out his poncho liner in the morning sun. They were clearing the beach for a live fire training exercise. He would walk away, for the simple reason that men with guns had told him to go elsewhere. #OregonCoast #wandering
Beach Camping, Gearhart, OR
As the rain began its relentless downpour just before the break of dawn, he shouldered his familiar backpack, resigned to the cold, wet reality that awaited him throughout the day and into the night. The Columbia River’s South Jetty stood like a stoic sentinel, closing off the northern end of the Oregon Coast Trail. To […]
