Here is one of the realities of  a foreclosure listing in very poor condition. Please know that I am grateful and appreciate the listing, however, one cannot linger inside the house too long or one shall emerge wearing the lovely odor that permeates the interior, for the rest of the day. The house is being marketed at lot value with services. It is a manufactured home with a leaky roof and vinyl siding. The nearest beach access is a few blocks away,  lot is perfect for a new home or extensive rehab of the existing home. This house is currently listed for $70,000 in Lincoln County MLS.Lot is level and secluded with a site-built carport behind the house with 2 shop rooms. If you are interested in learning more about this foreclosure property, please contact Barbara LePine at 41-270-6758 o...

Many visitors who come to Newport, Oregon in February are making a beeline for the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival. It is Newport's biggest fundraiser for the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce and one of the most exciting events of the year. Housed in two extra large tents, the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival is a well planned competition for Northwest area wineries who want to put their brand of wine on the map. Every year, I participate in the Ambassadors Information booth located just inside the front entrance to the festival. We sell "official wine glass holders" which are a hands free sling for your wine glass on a strap around your neck. I will be posting more information about the event shortly. The event begins this Thursday, with the first official day beginning on 2/22/2...

Here is the grand entrance to the campground. Immediately to the left of this gate are the RV amenities, a little further ahead you will find the host camp and information center. There are planned activities and group hiking for those who like to meet new fellow campers. The play area is relatively new and has some fun apparatus for the kids to play with. Stay tuned for more photos of the my walking tour of South Beach State Park in beautiful Newport, Oregon!

I took a detour through the campground so I can show you a few of the sights in the off season. I highly recommend this campground in the winter, there is a ridge which keeps the park protected from some of the harsher winds, and there are plenty of things to do and trails to explore to keep you busy without ever leaving the park. Here is a handicapped accessible Yurt, which you will need to get reservations for if you want to stay in one during the summer. Many are empty in the winter, which gives me a perfect chance to show you the interior.

The Cooper Ridge trail circles the So. Beach State Park campground and is well marked. I chose the lower flat trail to take me up to the Jetty where I can catch the Old Jetty Trail to take me back to the day use parking lot. The Cooper Ridge trail as pleasant, with open spaces, beautiful trees and a mixture of unsual plantlife. The views change with every step, which is why this is one of my favorite coastal trails. There was a wonderful scent of shore pines and surf to accompany me on my trek. This part of the trail was mesmerizing! It was so soft and enchanting to walk upon the fresh green groundcover! The grasses at the edges of the path have a delicate scent all their own.

This lightly used service road continues north toward the Newport Jetty and Cooper Ridge trail which circles the South Beach Campground. I have seen many mushrooms growing along the way, but I do not recommend touching them as many are poisonous to eat, so best to leave them be. Here is a photo of them:

Here is the trailhead sign located at the North end of the South Beach State Park Day Use parking lot. In my previous photo, we were walking through the shore pines on a dirt trail which is unmarked, to the south of this sign. This is a paved trail which takes you to the Newport Jetty and views of the Yaquina Bridge and Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. I will be returning to the parking lot on this trail after I walk the entire loop. Remember that I started my walk going south from the parking lot through the shore pines, then ventured east on an unmarked trail. I came upon the "boneyard" area for the campground, where larger trash items are stored. I am now closer to Hwy. 101. I want to show you what I found here! This stone hearth looks to be over 100 years old and was located in the bushes b...
