The next stop was at Cannon Beach which is the home of the Haystack Rock. The sun shone a little bit and we did see a rainbow while on the beach.

Our next stop was at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. You are able to go up on the viewing level above were the employees are working. You get to see the cheese assembly line where the cheese is cut and packaged. We did get to taste ...

... So everytime we made a trip back to the house we would carry 2 or 3 in the palms of our hands and walk them up to the bucket we made as their home. Our skin made contact with each and every jellyfish that we carried and they were all still alive. But for some reason, we never once got stung by them. At the end of the week we showed Grandma and Laura and they couldnt ...

... many of them restored and functioning. Soon, we were able to identify his bridges by the deco obelisks that flanked the entrances and the wonderful arches that were his signature.

We would have been content to stay longer at the coast, but we are behind in our itinerary and need to head off to our next destination, Crater Lake, before snow moves in. We’ll be heading back to the coast after that, but this time in Northern California.

... down to the beach to play while waiting for my dad to arrive. My dad had left Long Beach on the 8th at 11p.m. He attempted to sleep for a couple of hours on the side of the road, but he claims the only sleep he got was 2 hours the previous night. Anyways, beside making a couple of coffee and bathroom breaks, Dad drove straight from Long Beach to Florence. That’s over a thousand miles!!! I don’t think many people could ...

... We were warned the water would be freezing and it was, but Janis enjoyed his dip, nonetheless. We took in the view one last time and off we went. Next stop, Florence, Oregon, a small town on the coast. We planned on staying with my dad’s friend Gloria, which we did and we are so glad we did! She has a beautiful house here. And Niko was in heaven! She has a huge garage filled with hot rods and classics like a 64 ½ Mustang. The garage ...

We came into Newport and had lunch at a little fish stand.

We went to a post office to mail post cards.

We went to the Library.

We went to the Wal-mart to use the phone.

We went to the Oregon Aquarium.

We met an old friend of mine and walked on the beach.

We went to the Rogue Brewery but it was ...

... don't see them for a while. Full Hook Ups. Okay I admit it, when the weather isn't so good I WANT full hook ups. I want water, electricity, and our poop and grey water to drain away. Gone. So with much trepidation I decided to try another KOA. What a surprise, okay, it wasn't in the best location, and in the summer it would be really crowded. But it was clean, it had a beautiful view of the bridge. We could walk down to the bay ...

Thanks to the kindness of fellow Escapees Eli and Carolyn Hammil, whom we had met in Stockton, we were able to call their daughter Heather at their home in Waldport and arrange to camp out in the back yard for a couple of nights. (Eli and Carolyn were traveling in the southwest states at the time but had told us to be sure to camp at their home when we passed through Waldport.) Using Waldport as a base, we visited the ...
