Cape Perpetua and a place to stay

We drove up to the view at Cape Perpetua. We could see the toilet flushing down below and the sun sparkled off the water.

But we were all tired and didn't have a campsite reserved nearby - our schedule having changed because the van had been driven to the end of the rafting trip.

So we considered boondocking for the night. We tried a logging road suggested to us by a ranger but it seemed spooky because of all the clear cutting.
