To the Pacific Ocean

 Those Gas Stations from the past:

For Thursday's drive:

We are in Salem, the capitol of Oregon.  JJ took Sherry to get her hair cut and he did the grocery shopping. I stuck around here and vacuumed out home.

Since JJ had never seen the Pacific we took a drive over to Lincoln City to see the waves.

The trip (50-60 miles) was thru a lot of trees and farm country.

 

 

We drove down to the beach, I mean we drove down. WE on the East Coast (or First Coast) have flat land long before we get to the Atlantic Ocean.

 

 
I saw the beaches of Spain and France long before I sw the Pacific Ocean. I was impressed by the rugged walls, cliffs just before the sand.  I found the Pacific coast line to be much the same. Out here at times the mountains drop right down to the coast.

It was so hazy the breaking waves hardly show

It was cold on the beach!

 

 

Many shores of the Pacific have rocks at the beach.

It was very hazy so this is the results North & South.

I cannot leave a beach without a shell, This one was unique:

 

We spent a little time there then came back. We knew Grandson Corey was coming down and did not want to be gone when he arrived.

 

I cannot pass a barn shot.

And the picture below is harvested logs

This shot shows an area of harvested trees. It will be replanted .

This area was harvested about 10-15 yrs ago

Many trees along the way were covered with Moss, sorta eerie looking.

Thursday was a relaxed day. Sherry’s hair looked good and she was happy with the hair dresser, but not the cost out here, LOL

Corey's load today kept him from coming down. Thurs.  He will be here  Friday morning.
