Beach Front Escapade in October

November 10, 2009 by Laura Blodgett 6 Comments

Laura running a bit with Kiwi

Lake Cascade at the end of October is much like the Oregon Coast is most of the year.  The water level is low enough to offer long, wide expanses of light sand  beaches.  The wind is chill, but usually not enough to deter heat generating activity, such as playing frisbee or walking for a few miles.  The overcast sky gives excellent lighting for photography.  And not many other people are out there.  Let me offer proof in a few photos:

I can recommend the cabin we stayed at for quality and comfort, despite disorderly cupboards and some inadequate cleaning after the owners’ children stayed there the previous weekend.  We were emphatically assured that the cabin would be much cleaner when we rent in the summer.  The owners (who live in Boise) were friendly and easy to communicate with.  If you want a look at it click here.  Please note that the pictures on the site seem to be taken around spring time, and it is at the end of a neighborhood.  The next door cabin is within 20 feet.  However, we never heard anything from any of them.  The cabin accommodated 11 of us, even with just one and a half bathrooms.  It was definitely in its favor that it had 3 private bedrooms for couples.   Now the only question is “do we want to consider a cabin of our own.”
