OT: Pictures from the Oregon Coast
« on: January 30, 2007, 10:32:09 PM »
I've put up some new picture albums and thought you might to see them.

The first set is from last Dec. when we drove from Waldport to Philomath on Hwy. 34.

The second album shows you 2 recent trips to Cape Perpetua - one in the fog, one in the sun.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

A lovely trip down memory lane for me, Kimmer! How many times did we drive 34 to the coast to take the kids to the beach or visit the aquarium in our six years there? Dozens, probably! My old pottery instructor (Jay Widmer) has a studio/home in Alsea.

Sigh. Well, the ironic thing is that now we're moving back to Toronto, maybe we'll actually have time to get back out to Oregon, since we won't have to spend our school vacations visiting the relatives in Toronto!!

I have pics of Cape Perpetua taken on a very similar sunny day! Bit warmer, though, if memory serves! wink.gif

The stone shelter in the second set seems like something a friend sent me from his trip to the Oregon coast.  What's the story on the ruin?

Hi Kimmer,
What a lovely place you live in!
My husband and I have always wanted to drive out from MA and take a couple of months starting at my cousins house in Idaho and traveling the entire coast and ending up in San Diego at his sisters house.
Maybe this year we will do this.  
Thanks for posting your albums, makes us want to gas up the truck, pack, and take off!
Jane

Beautiful, Kimmer; inspired me to make plans to hit Highway 101 to visit a friend of mine in Grant's Pass, via the motorcycle, as soon as the weather warms up a bit!

Warmer? It's never warm here.  laugh.gif  We've been hitting the low 50's for several days and looks like the same ahead for a week or so. Whoot! I'm sure we'll pay down the road. HAHAHA!

BTW, we visited the Aquarium on Saturday, Paddy. Took our company. I had to stop and talk to my Tufted Puffin. wink.gif I found the octopus (he ignored them - hehehe), we got hugged by a sea urchin, petted the starfish, passed on touching the eel .. and had a grand time. I think the best moment was watching the otters and the "couple" ... uhh ... was playing and we were watching and suddenly ... and we all  eek2.gif  blush-anim-cl.gif  and busted up laughing - except for Dan who missed it and we wouldn't tell him what we saw.   tongue.gif

If you get out this way - let us know. We'll "meet and greet". Same goes for any of you who visit this area. smile.gif

Ruin? It's not a ruin. wink.gif It's a lovely shelter. The roof has recently been repaired, the stones are in super shape - it's well maintained. Twas built during the depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). During WWII it was used as a spotting post for ships, subs, planes, etc.. Mainly it's always been a lovely place to stand and view the coastline and watch for whales.

beacher, if you get this way and have time ... let us know ... we'll buy you a cup of java or something.

Really nice Kimmer clap.gif

It reminds me of some of the bits of Scotland I should go back to.  Plus some of the bits I've only seen in photos and on the TV.  

I feel rather ashamed of the last statement, but there you go.... That's life

However I've promised that I'll start going fishing again this year so hopefully that will get me out and about around Scotland again.

Fishing? You should chat with Sneakers. Maybe I'll pull out the fishing pics and put them over the weekend. Just to encourage you a bit. wink.gif
