Friday June 30, 28.7mi/46.2kmSeven Devils State Recreation Site (290.0/23ft) to Boice Cope Park Campground (316.4/33ft) (OR) +0.5mi to campground, 1.8mi GPS correctionI woke up early from my questionable camping spot, and was hiking on the beach at 6am.Within a mile, I had reached Fivemile point, a rocky outcropping that is only passable at mid-tide or lower.Many of the rocks were covered in millions of little barnacles.Eventually I could see the clouds starting to clear, though it was still very windy.After a couple of hours I exited the beach at one of the usual fluorescent yellow signs.The trail went through a dense brushy section, and then a swampy section with a raised boardwalk.I emerged at a state park campground, where I took advantage of the running water and refilled my water bottle. When I left the campground, I was on a roadwalk again. The first obstacle was a narrow bridge with no shoulders, the only one like this on the entire trail.There is a button for hikers/cyclists to press, which makes some yellow lights flash and lowers the speed limit for the cars. Since drivers are legally required to give you 4 feet of passing space, I created a little traffic bottleneck. It was funny to watch! Pretty soon after that I was in the town of Bandon.It had a cool little waterfront downtown area, where I stopped for an early lunch. Many of the buildings had big murals painted on the side.After lunch, the rest of the day was a beachwalk. A cold, windy beach. I started out at the Jetty…… And pretty soon I was in this cool rocky area.I love when the rocks have these little tunnels or caves.As I hiked through these narrow areas, I could feel the wind getting funnelled through.All the little pebbles on the beach were showing how windy it was.For a couple of hours it was a nice beach walk on hard & flat sand.It was funny seeing an exit sign for an upcoming campsite. Usually 3 miles would take an hour to walk, but this beach had become slanted and full of loose sand, making it hard to walk. It took almost an hour and a half!It was still cold and windy, but it appeared the clouds were starting to break up.Yup, even behind me, I could see this gap in the clouds growing larger.I got to the designated campsite, and I actually met two other OCT thru-hikers! Cool.But when I tried to setup my tent, it was so windy it was an impossible task. Sadly, even though it was 7pm, I had to continue hiking another 4 miles to find a sheltered spot in the trees up ahead. Onward.At least it was cool to watch the sunset over the rising tide.I finally exited that windy and terrible beach at 9pm, and within a few minutes I was at a county campground.Usually all of the campsites are reserved months in advance, but at most campgrounds hikers/bikers have a special group site that is available. At this county campground, it was nothing formal, just a grassy spot in the middle of the campground loop. I setup under the only tree, and made dinner and was in bed by 10pm.It felt good to be warm again!
