The next day (8-29) started out rainy and never got much better. It was good timing, however, as I spent most of the day too far from the ocean to see it, anyway. I passed through Oswald West State Park, and found a tribute to him at a very nice ocean overlook. It read something much like this: "Oswald West – Governor of Oregon 1911 – 1915. By his foresight, nearly 400 miles of ocean shore was set aside for public use." Almost the entire ocean shore in Oregon is still preserved for use by the public. Way to go, Oswald!

Just before the end of my day, I got another nice view from a 500’ overlook just north of Manzanita and my campground at Nehalem.
