The Friends of the Umpqua Hiking Club’s annual campout typically takes place in August, but due to all the wildfires that have occurred in recent years, which we’ve had to work around, the club played it safe this year and opted to have it in June. Not only that, but we decided to camp on the coast where wildfires are extremely rare. Perhaps this was a knee-jerk reaction, but for the few that actually attended, that reaction was rewarded with excellent weather and beautiful coastal scenic views!
A total of four brave campers showed up to camp and hike on the most southern portion of the Oregon coast. Harris Beach State Park was home base, while Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor was the main venue for hiking activities. Richard, John, Edwin and Katchan enjoyed great vistas here and appeared to be having a great time, as evidenced in the photos.
