OREGON HEALEY CLUB BEACH TRIP

The Austin-Healey Club of Oregon conducts an annual beach trip in October, and we had one even in this most unusual year.  That said, the event was a little different in being smaller and we didn’t reserve a suite at the destination lodging – the Agate Beach Inn in Newport – with catered food, as we usually do, due to the anticipated small turnout.  In the end we had about 18 folks participate.

The weekend included a short scenic tour on Saturday morning.  The tour concluded at Devil’s Punchbowl Arch, certainly one of the most photographed sights on the Oregon coast.  Who could resist?

There were actually two Healeys driven on the trip, so despite the iffy weather forecast, we still looked like a Healey club, or at least like a British car club because there was also an MGB and an Aston Martin among the chariots of choice.

The other tip-off that it was a Healey club, or at least a British car club, were the frequent adult beverage opportunities.  Margaritas aren’t just for breakfast anymore!
