Yep, that's a beautiful place to be and it looks like you had everything for a great time. And there there's the land, sea and sky. The last time I was there (for a friend's birthday, Ken) I stayed in a house a couple of houses south of the Adobe - it's funny that the rocks and water look so similar all along that part of the coast.
Royal Terrace Falls looks pretty interesting; I've come into Sweet Home as a route out of the hills from the east but haven't heard of Royal Terrace Falls. Hmmmm.
McDowell Creek park is where it's located. Not only are there multiple waterfalls with trails all around them, but the area is loaded with quartz crystals, agates, and lots of petrified wood. (there's entire petrified old growth logs in McDowell creek, and other creeks in the Waterloo area! (that area has 7 petrified forests on top of each other, from earlier pyroclastic flows)

That's right on the water.
That's right on the water. Renting a beach house for a birthday bash is a fun Oregon tradition.
Thinking about going over to Yaquina Bay this weekend for some crabbing and clam digging. There is going to be a negative tide on Saturday afternoon.
Now can anyone not from the area pronounce "Yachats"?
