Day 54: Lincoln City


Lincoln City is a city on the Oregon Coast.  A claim to fame that they have there in that city is that Abraham Lincoln came to their city.  He was on horseback.  Wikipedia article about Lincoln City.















There were various murals and other decorations all over town.  They were pretty fun.




The other thing that Lincoln City is known for is the ocean.  There are a number of beaches in the city.  We just went to one.




With the ocean you have to be careful because you never really know what the tide is going to do.  So there was a part of the city that part of the Tsunami Hazard Zone.  We knew about this because there were signs everywhere saying that you were entering and leaving that zone.  There were also signs showing the escape route if there was a tsunami.  Good to be prepared.


Even if you got away from the coast just a little bit it was still really beautiful.  Here was one of the streets in the more residential area of Lincoln City.  Those lots are probably for sale, people just haven't bought the land in order to build houses yet.
