The Oregon Coast

Today was cool and rainy (BIG surprise :( ). We decided to road trip over to the coast. It was just about 70 miles over to Tillamook (yes, the cheese Tillamook). We stopped there for lunch. We had some wonderful sauteed Halibut sandwiches. The cheese factory was, unfortunately, closed on Sunday.

Goin' Crabbin'

It's the middle of crab season here. We found plenty of guys baiting cages and tossing them in the shallows. We found a few crabs on the beach, too small to make a meal, but cool to play with!

Does anybody know what heck these are? This one's all curled up, but when their out, they look like big ticks! They left these worm like lines in the sand, so of course I had to dig one up!


Laura had to take her sandals off and test the water while I played with crabs! It was too cold for me!











The Oregon coast is more rugged and untamed then the California coast, but just as spectacular. The three rock formations are known as "Three arches", it's a wildlife refuge for seabirds and sea lions.

As we headed home, the weather started to clear up and the sun actually made an appearance. Laura made a pasta dish with the morels we picked up at the Farmer's Market on Saturday. I cleaned the bugs off the front of the coach. Turned out to be a pretty good day!
