I love the Oregon Coast in the winter. So dramatic. The waves crash all around, the weather is unpredictable, it all makes you feel so alive. Good thing we found an AirBnB to crash at post X-mas break. And the Bridges got a hotel room in town for the first few days.
I'll let my strava tell the story.

| After skiing in the morning, we drove out to Bandon and met up with the Bridges at Bullard's Beach. |
Next morning, I went on a run - https://www.strava.com/activities/4530299045. Really fun run where we ran though some sea tunnels... Shasta got wet. Quite soaked actually...
Then we checked out Whisky Run - https://www.strava.com/activities/4531249460 where I chased the boys on foot. Kim loved riding the xc trails. Ashland needs some XC trails!

Then we walked around Coquille Point, Face Rock area at sunset. There were horses, it was low tide, tide pooling, oh my! |
The following day, I got out for a quick solo Whiskey Run (https://www.strava.com/activities/4535463918), then we went up to Cape Arago where we checked out the coves and sunbathed with a elephant seal. https://www.strava.com/activities/4536390809.
We said bye to the Bridges here, and we went a bit up the road and checked out Lighthouse Beach where we had the beach to ourselves. https://www.strava.com/activities/4536767614 The other end had a few surfers. Really cool spot.
On Wed, I went on another run (it was windy) - https://www.strava.com/activities/4539987243
Then after the storm had somewhat passed we timed it at low tide and took the mtn bikes on the beach. https://www.strava.com/activities/4541844199 Make sure to wash your bikes if you do this as our bikes got a bit rusty. Only took a few hours. I'd love to take my fat bike next time.
On NYE, I did another run. This time on Bullard's beach. https://www.strava.com/activities/4545246103 After packing up, we made it home at 2 pm. So I decided to go skiing. And got to Mt A with 1 hr to ski. I got in 5 laps down the bowl and was one of the better days yet.
