What better way to celebrate America's 250th birthday than with a road trip along one of the country's most beautiful coastlines?

In this episode of Team and Trail, Michele Forto shares the story of an unforgettable Independence Day adventure to the Oregon Coast. Alongside Robert, Chaser, and Dream, the journey included flying kites on Cannon Beach, standing beneath the iconic Haystack Rock, exploring filming locations from The Goonies in Astoria, and reflecting on the legacy of Lewis and Clark at the National Historical Park.

The trip also included one of the best barbecue meals they've ever experienced at the Cannon Beach Smokehouse and countless reminders that the best adventures are about more than the destination. They're about the memories you make along the way.
