We left Newport and drove down to the coast to Seal Rock Recreation Area. It started pouring rain and we got soaked when we got out to look. The water was rough and the waves were crashing on the rocks.
We drove to back up to Lincoln City and took Highway 18 to Portland. There was a casino in Lincoln City but I couldn't talk my husband into stopping. We arrived in Portland and found a pay parking lot near the Saturday Market. We walked around and looked but didn't buy anything. I was ...
Pics from Mt. St. Helens. The volcano itself is hard to see because of the low clouds. The last pictures are of another volcano--Mt Hood seen from downtown Portland.

Portland, Oregon, United States washdcmikeI have been very busy since the day I arrived in Portland. Today was the first time I really had time to get out and see some of the city. I went to Chinatown and to the Chinese Gardens. After that I walked over to the Portland Satuarday market. A lot of interesting things to look at. Than I took a few black and white photos of the older part of downtown, and one other special effect type picture of a fountain. One picture on the lite rail system (called the MAX). I also included a picture of...
Portland, Oregon, United States washdcmikeStill very busy here in Portland. Still have not really seen the city. This is a picture of the skyline. The building in the front is the Rose Garden, where the Trailblazers play. The next picture is the Portland convention center. It is the one with the glass "whatever ya callums" sticking up. The last picture is my "office" where I do all my work. Things are going great, wish I had a little more time to see the city.

Forest Grove, Oregon, United States earthdeacon... the closest one was just outside Portland. The bike was in Klickitat, Washington, about a hundred miles away. Turns out the dealer was less than four miles from my house.
Disaster averted. Plus I got to be the hero in exchange for going 15 minutes out of my way. Hooray.
Plus had dinner at one of my favorite out-of-the-way local joints... Charburger! Mmmm beef.
Beauty for free
Well almost free. The first night I got into Portland, I walked to the visitor center and then took the train out to the burbs where my hosts lived. It was a very easy ride that would have taken twice as long in Minneapolis. I took Kip and Mike out for Mexican while we caught up. The next day, Kip took the liberty of driving me around greater Portland. We went to the Zoo, where he has a membership. I really enjoyed the beaver that liked the ...
... Its like they don't even take it seriously. Maybe it's because I come from a techie/engineering industry, but the only way to truly know if something works is to test it, and then test it again, then test it in extreme circumstances, and keep testing it until you know it will perform as expected/advertised in the defined parameters. I really wonder if there is anybody out there whose job is to try to get stuff through airport security systems. If there isn't, there should be. If ...
