Highway 20

I love driving Hwy. 20. I had an amazing week in Oregon for Christmas, and even got a rain storm to send me off.

Getting Back

Going back to Oregon for a week on Wednesday!

Nameless Beach

We found so many giant agates that day.

Yaquina Bay

Taken from the South Beach Jetty. 

This is the kind of evening I can't describe.

Some properties on the central coast have some issues with like, having been built on crumbling clay cliffs at the edge of the ocean. 

Call me stupid but if I wouldn't mind a crooked house if I got the chance to live here for awhile. 

Dynamite Hole

I've walked down this path a million times!

This spot on the river is called Dynamite Hole. When my brother and I went there as children, a long peninsula of bedrock stayed dry near the rapids. We called it Crocodile Rock. I haven't seen it like that in a long time. I guess we always swam there in the summer when the water was low, but I've been back there in July or August for the last few years and Crocodile Rock is always just underwater.

The bedrock drops off steep here, and the water's really deep. In some places the rock cuts under itself and you can imagine spooky things hiding where you can't see.
