Oregon provided our 1st view of the Pacific Ocean. Bandon, on Oregon's southern coastline, is a really nice community that appears to be closely tied to the fishing industry. We even saw some LOGGING TRUCKS!!!
We absolutely love ocean sunsets...this one was taken as we traveled southbound just before crossing the California border.
After we crossed into California, we came across a small theme park along Hwy 101. It featured Paul Bunyan and Babe...Kinda like playing "where's Waldo?"...can you find me in the above picture?
Karen is in this picture. Do you see her?
This is an old logging arch (probably circa 1930)...designed to be pulled behind a large bulldozer. It was used to lift logs up as they were dragged into a loading area (this prevented them from digging into the dirt, making them easier to drag.)I found this photo interesting because the same type is on the Oregon State University campus...my dad posed next to it with mom and Grandma Shelton on his graduation from forestry school almost 50 years ago.
You guys are too cute! Paul Bunyon shouldn't be out that way!! I know he was from MINNNEEESOOTA. It was great to see you. Hugs from the Newpower gang (the CUTE one typed this)
