Week 34 - August 19 - August 25, 2024 - Sutton Lake Campground near Florence, Oregon

It was time for our year trek to the beaches near Florence. This was our fourth year gong to the Sutton Lake Campground. Previously we'd been in Group Site A, but his year we were in Group Site C. It turned out to be SO MUCH BETTER!!! First is was off the main campground road so it was much much more quiet and private. We had two bathrooms to ourselves. There was a pavilion with lights, tables, prep tables, and a sink with a faucet, there were two electric outlets (which with Travis' extension cords) which allowed Travis, Dolores, and us to hook. There was plenty of room for all of our tents, a place to play badminton, nice access to a little creek. It was nearly perfect - perfect would have been if there had been no rain and if it'd been free.

We went to church on Sunday.

The girls made bracelets while the boys ran around, played with sticks, and fell into the creek.

I did a 4.5 mile walk every morning.

***South Jetty - we went between the shore like and the jetty, so there was water to play in, sand to roll in, and rocks to crawl over and around.

***Some went to the end of Sutton Lake Trail and followed a trail over the creek and over the dunes to get to the surf.

Wohink Lake which is a day use area next Honeyman State Park - I think this was the best place. you could swim in the laketake out the paddleboards, paddle in one of the three kayaks, and jump off the bride.....or just sit and read book.
