Bob Straub State Park — Attraction in Lincoln City

We took a nice walk from the parking lot to the end of the spit on the Pacific Ocean side going south where we encountered a group of 25 sea lions-beauutiful day for Febuary. On our hike back, we decided to avoid the wind that had kicked up on the Ocean side and hiked back on the Nestucca bay side.

My only complaint is that this is a popular place for horse people to take beach rides, which means there's a fair amount of horse poop along the beach. I feel like, if I'm expected to pick up my dog's poop, why can't horse people pick up horse poop? Give them special diapers or something, I don't know. Keep it off the...
