Mixture of trip to Florence:May 2009


Rocky Mountains--hidden by the wind turbine farms.
I-80.

Fog in Wy. was dense. Many fields of turbines.

Amtrak--on the WA. side of the
Columbia River Gorge.

Baker City, Oregon-- a a gorgeous place to
spend the night.

Adele demos her carbon fiber walking sticks.

Had to make our first stop the north jetty. Stopped to
see Edith and Charlie but they were not home. Neither
was Ken. Bummer.


So much to miss about the coast.

Flocks of pelicans--finally got the second group. What
a gorgeous day on the beach.


Kathy loves the beach--wind and all.

Kurtie loves being at Woahink--we had it all to ourselves
for a Subway picnic.

Kurtie is just sooo Happy to be on the beach.


Adele recognized us the first day. Enlarge to see
the VW rear taillight.

Just another beautiful day on the Siuslaw River--Coast Guard
going out to practice on the bar but it was perfectly calm.

It's Mr. Men--flashing his cell phone--NOT!

So nice to be inside where it was warmer.


Last day of giggles and breakfast of scones from Sugar Shack,
Reedsport. Thank you Adele and Men for letting us crash
and enjoy your hospitality even though Adele had lost
her voice.
