오레곤 선셋비치 공원 캠핑장

Sunset Bay State Park은  Coos Bay근처에 있는 선셋이 오레곤에서 가장 아름답다고 알려진 곳입니다. 이곳 캠핑장에 예약을 하고 캘리포니아에서 달려오는데 더위와 시간에 쫒겨 결국 12시에 24시간 데니스에서 늦은 저녁을 먹고 새벽에야 도착해서 서둘러 잤습니다. 그후 여독이 풀리지않아 꽤 고생했네요.  현대중공업에서 파견되어 일하는 조카가 뉴올리언즈에서 왔는데 맛있는 것도 잘 못해주고 주로 사먹었어요.  몸이 예전같지않으니 무리하게 일정을 짜면 안되겠어요.  
그래도 옆 매년 이 캠핑장을 온다는 캠퍼가 친절하게 알려준 Cape Arago를 가서 아름답게 조성된 유러피안 정원을 감상할 수 있었습니다. 쿠스베이 최남단에 있는 Shore Acres State Park는 다음을 기약했습니다.
그런데 디젤값이 어마하군요. 오며 가며 500불 들었네요.  하필 젤 비쌀 때 가서요. 코스코 개스 스태이션은 차가 가득해서 포기했습니다.  당분간 가까운 곳만 가야겠어요. ㅠㅠ

The ornate grounds on Mr. Simpson’s estate complemented his opulent home featuring (among other luxuries) a heated, indoor swimming pool and a large ballroom. The original estate included five acres of formal gardens along with a Japanese-style garden built around a 100-foot lily pond that remains today.
In 1942, Simpson’s estate was purchased by the state of Oregon for use as a public park. Today, a fully enclosed observation building offering ocean vistas and protection from the weather is located where Simpson’s elegant mansion once stood. The observation building has interpretive panels describing the history of the Simpson estate.
