We spent about a week at Cape Blanco State Park, on the southern Oregon coast. Our campground was on top of a tall cliff that loomed over the kelp covered sand beach. Pa, Little Kid and I had fun trying to escape after tying each other up with kelp.
One afternoon, Pa and I walked down to where the beach ended at a rock headland. We found a small sea cave, but the tide was still pretty high, and we didn’t want to get wet, so we didn’t explore much around there. But when Ma and I went back there later that day, it was low tide. There were huge tide pools everywhere, filled with blue and pink anemones and big orange star fish. When we went to the cave, we saw there was another one right next to it. When I went into the second cave, a small bird flew out. Ma was very freaked out.
While we were at Cape Blanco, we went gold panning at the mouth of the Sixes River. We didn’t find any gold, but we saw lots of seals.
