Gearhart, OR
The Arduous Journey
The Beach cabin we stay in at the Oregon Coast is "on the Beach". Not California "on the beach" where you can literally throw your pet rock from the porch and have it land 20ft deep in the ocean. No, Gearhart, Oregon "on the Beach" means about 1/4th of a mile lies between the house and the soft, white-ish sands and the salty, freezing waters of the Pacific Ocean. In between the glories of the ocean beaches and comfort of the cabin exists a vast expanse of overgrown beach grass, sand, a few trees and more overgrown beach grass. Little trails carved out by the flip-flop toting feet of excited beach goers pervade through the great grassy expanse connecting civilization to the front porch of Western America. As a little child this distance was frighteningly long. As a spastic teen it was annoyingly inconvenient. Now, it's just part of the overall splendid experience.
