Huge Wave Explosions! Shore Acres Storm Watching Oregon Coast
Shore Acres State Park is easily the best storm watching spot on the Oregon Coast and may just be one of the best spots in the world! The HUGE waves and resulting spectacular towering fountains of water (200'+) can be seen both north & south from many spots within the park. And, if you are lucky, you may get a glimpse of King Neptune or Poseidon, @1:20 in the video. Watching the waves crash in can be mesmerizing! If this sort of stuff is your cup of tea, 11 minutes is not enough! If you feel that all the waves look the same, skip to 8:00 in the video and watch from there.
Episode #17 - HOW TO DO THE WEST COAST IN 8 DAYS!! ROAD TRIP (PART 1)
In episode 17 of Around the House, the Rietzschs venture out on an 8-day road trip to the Oregon coast. They cover 6 states in an adventurous loop. In part one of their trip they leave Utah and pass through Boise and into Hood River Oregon, stopping at all the fun and quirky places along the way - researched ahead of time by Lindsey, with the help of social media and the Food Network!
Lindsey has planned fun road trips in the past to Yellowstone, Las Vegas, Idaho, and California always researching the funnest spots to visit along the way, and activities that are truly unique. From the serenaded candlelit Bulgarian restaurant in Vegas, to the haunted historic restaurant featured on the Travel Channel in Filmore UT, & the covered wagon tour/chuck wagon dinner and concert in Lava Hot Springs and Yellow Stone, to the glow-in-the-dark dining experience inside of the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disney Land. People often ask for her itinerary and this time she has come prepared and pasted the Oregon road trip below! (Scroll down)
In episode 17 of Around the House, Manuel surprises Lindsey a few days early with a lovely Mother's Day gift.The kids plan special surprises, and the family gets ready to celebrate at Grandma Bev's, as she pulls off a crazy fiesta themed dinner. Lindsey takes the kids treasure hunting and they discover a pond full of tadpoles.

There are always places to stop along highway 101 in Oregon. Lot's of amazing seafood shacks as you'll see in our next video - that was not on this itinerary. Leave room to be flexible and spontaneous. There are lovely bed and breakfasts all along the coast but with a family of 6 - we were not able to stay at a B&B. There are also cute little mini-cabins we looked into by the beach. Comes with breakfast and a bonfire and free Frisbee golf course!
Gleneden Beach Worldmark 12/24/2015
Hmmmm. Only the bath & bed of a one bedroom. Very peaceful room.
Central OR Coast 2013

Pictures include the Oregon Dunes NRA near Florence, the Cape Perpetua & Tillicum Beach area (near Yachats & Waldport), Newport Bay, and up to Cape Meares. Enjoy!

On road test day, your job is to take away the driving examiner's right to fail you - nothing more, nothing less. If you've practiced, that job is a simple task.
Driving is NOT a spectator sport, and you must practice to be prepared for road test day. Remember, we do what we practice, so the more you drive in preparation for your road test, the higher probability of success you are going to have on your driver's license road test day.
If you haven’t taken driver training with a driving school, be sure to hire a driving school to take you out on a practice road test.
A driving instructor will identify the gaps in your driving abilities, skills, and knowledge so you will be better prepared. Keep in mind, driving schools teach drivers how to pass a road test every day!
Importantly, if you make a mistake on the road test, move on quickly - do not dwell on the mistake. If you dwell on the mistake, your distraction will cause you to make more mistakes. And some times the driving examiner may not have even seen the mistake.
Speed and space management are the 2 biggest components of a driver's license road test. Be sure to drive the posted speed limit for the speed of the traffic flow - whichever is less. As well, stay away from other traffic, vehicles, road users, pedestrians and fixed objects.
In addition to speed and space management, observation and communication are the other two fundamental components that make up a road test. You must demonstrate to the examiner that you have a scanning pattern that allows you to interpret and predict traffic patterns.
As well, the scanning pattern is looking in the mirrors and monitoring the gauges on the dash of your vehicle.
And for the purposes of observing, you must shoulder check at least twice for every turn and lateral movement. You must shoulder check two times when making lane changes.
When communicating with other traffic, you must activate your turn signal approximately 1/2 block before making a turn.
And it is suggested that you have three flashes on the turn signal before making any lateral movement or lane changes.
To review...the 4 fundamental components of any road test are:
1) speed management
2) space management
3) observation
4) communication
Demonstrate competency in these 4 basic components of the road test, and you will have taken away the examiner's right to fail you.
Good luck on your road test.
