I'm baack!!! Riding up the Coast

 First off, I'm putting it out there I have this "diary" thing

I'm supposed to keep notes in.

I really stink at taking notes - and the "diary" thing

turned into well a diary thing. LOL.

No.helpful.

This is the downside of the bridge between

Oregon and Washington 

the Astoria-Megler bridge over the Columbia River.

 The Cape Disappointment lighthouse.

 Yes, its waaaay out there.

 As close as I could get.

The have some fun names out there 

In addition, Foulweather Bluff, Useless Bay to name a few.

LOL.

 West Port marina

 Love those dramatic skies.

 Gray's Harbor lighthouse.

 Chillin' on the beach.

How cool is that?

 We went into the Rainforest in Olympic Park

but because we were in the RV

We could go no further than these falls.

Was a big disappointment but the roads were terrible.

These are Lupin flowers and they are everywhere on

the roadside in Oregon and Washington.

So pretty!!!

Overcast and cold this day

We started out with shorts and tanks

and ended up in jeans and a jacket and we were

just a few miles up the road.

Drove through quaint Newport and then

 found a lighthouse in the Yaquina Bay State Park.

 And a big boat steaming down the channel.

 And that gorgeous, delicate looking bridge.

 The coastline had a marine layer, or fog to us, all the

way up the coast.

 Houses on a river.

 This big rock just sits in middle of the Pacific.

Coming around the corner to the town of Pacific City and

behind the little town was this huge rock.

Very cool.

 I'm not really good with taking pictures in marine layer.

 Our camp is right next to this marina.

 Piles of oyster shells.

 Floats......

 Lots of boats.

 The marine layer doesn't stop these people.

 Or the birds.

 This was cool and approaching sundown.

Had a lovely dinner at the Pirates Cove.

Fresh fish. Halibut.

Yum!
