All along the coast I'm finding that August really is different from October. Not too many open sites left at 5:15! Also, a really long, "get out the crossword puzzle" wait at the gate for the dude in a Greyhound bus-sized camper to get his s--t together. This is why I am down on state campgrounds - the least pleasant and scenic spot of this trip for a third again as much money as the next most expensive. I am looking forward to that Oregon state provided shower tonight though...
