West Coast Road Trip Part 2 (View Part 1, Part 3)
The drive along the Oregon Coast is absolutely beautiful. Very scarce of people and towns but absolutely breathtaking. When we neared Gold Beach, we passed along an area that we HAD to pull into.
Battle Rock was a battleground for an infamous American Indian/Settlers clash.

In the evening when the lights are on around the grounds of the lodge, I’m reminded of a place that would be found in the fairytale woods.
We had dinner at Spinner’s Restaurant & had excellent seafood.
