Hoi! I’m back, earlier than even I thought. I think I am a bit more motivated to get the Oregon trip documented because tomorrow I am headed to Denver for a short trip. I am hoping getting this in the books will help me transition into posting on the Denver trip. Any hoosier… Here are some of my favorite pieces of eye candy from a day or two along the coast of Oregon.
Thors Well just outside of Yachats is a hole in the rocks in along the shoreline. It used to be a sea cave but it collapsed and now, during high tide, the water drifts in spouts with awesome splashes and then pulls back out to sea. The walk from the parking lot along the 101 was easy until I got to the slippery volcanic rock where I had to be careful not to slip and crack my skull. Also there are tide pool creatures laying about so I had also pay mind not to squash them. Its pretty epic and I could have sat there for hours watching, it never got old and the funny thing is that every time..I mean, every time the splash came we (there was quite a crowd) all ooooooo’d and awwwwww’d like we had never seen it before.
Next up, the obligatory Mo’s stop. Not necessarily next as in after Thor’s Well we went to Mo’s because I am pretty sure it didn’t happen in this order. Next up as in this was the next photo amongst the photo dump. Fresh seafood so of course no complaints. Well, one complaint. They did not even have fresh oysters. What was going on?
This lighthouse sits high up on a headland between Florence and Yachats. It sure was windy up there. I was disappointed it was not opened for me to climb around in but still cool, I do love a lighthouse. 205 feet below was this
These next round of photos I think were near the magical Hobbit Trail Head also in or near Florence.
We walked through gorgeous forestry and found ourselves at the end pretty quickly. The end was a secluded beach.
Welcome to my happy place. Next stop, Denver! TTFN
