Sunday Drive: Cape Perpetua, Oregon - 1954

Here we are, seven-year-old me standing next to the Forest Service sign, while Mother watched from the truck. Whenever our summer trips took us to Washington state, we always stopped at Cape Perpetua.*

Sunday Drive (and Laundry): Yachats, Oregon - September, 1948

Obviously this was taken on a bright sunny day near the Oregon Coast. I was 17 months old. 

The truck is a 1948 Dodge which has appeared in this blog before.

[From my personal collection.]

Dad's note on the slide holder says it was taken at Yachats Forest Camp which either no longer exists or is called by another name. I think it's most likely the Cape Perpetua Campground in the Siuslaw National Forest.
