ESCAPING THE PORTLAND HEAT

 Sometimes fate steps in and good things happen.  That was our personal experience when we drove out of Portland (112 degrees) Sunday to spend three nights at Salishan on the Oregon Coast.  Monday in Portland was 116 and Tuesday 114, while on the coast the temperatures topped off around 67 degrees. 

 We had the reservations since last year December so it was truly serendipity

Our room had a lovely view of Siletz Bay in the foreground and the ocean far off in the distance.
