Manzanita, Oregon Coast


We're currently in Manzanita on the Oregon coast. We're renting a house with two other families (Kinast, Irmler/Taylors). They're the same people we go camping with and to Port Wooden in Port Townsend on Christmans. Since we don't see enough of them we figured we'd also need a vacation rental with these folks.
So far so good, the weather is really nice. It's been warm and the beach is nice. There hasn't been good enough of a surf yet to hit the waves, but I am hoping for today or tomorrow!
Yesterday we decided to hike up Mount Neakahnie. There is lore around the mountain of pirate booty hidden somewhere around the mountain. And in fact, there was a ship loaded with bee's wax that hit the ground in the area, and as recently as a couple of years ago hikers have found bee's wax on the mountain. Here are some pics of the hike:
