After a windblown descent of Cape Perpetua just south of our favorite coastal town, Yachats.
Picnic, the most important meal of the day. The daily prospect for tables sheltered from the wind is an art unto itself.
Honeyman State Park, where the dunes meet the surf, and where kids surf down dunes. At the hiker-biker camp we found ourselves standing around a campfire with five other Salt Lake natives. All of them Eagle Scouts (hoot) and three of them hence named "The Utah Boys".
The arrow points south. At this site we discussed the unlikely phenomenon of bicycles exploding with a pair of nine year old boys.
Sunset Beach, located past the fishy town of Winchester where real men wear rubber boots and the boats are stacked deep with crab traps. (Bryan, this could be your home). At camp we befriended a lovely couple from Victoria Island and reunited with an acquaintance from an earlier camp. In the morning we frolicked in the low tide spying on anemones and hermit crabs and finding thrones in the masses of wave sculpted rock.

Liam and June seek shelter at the Seaside Motel. We were delightfully treated with a visit from Owen and Cathy who filled our bellies and our hearts with their generosity and kindness. xoxo
A Big Al thumbs up to The Oregon Coast Bicycle Route.HOOT
The view from Humbug Mountain summit, a six mile trek from sea level. A climb easier done by the legs than by wheels, but hard on the knees nonetheless.
First flat along the 101.
Can you find Big Al in this landsape?
There he is! Next communication from the land of Californication.
