To Da Coast

Just got back from Ryan and Judy's so I'll be playing catch up for a while. Teri is in LA and I'll be going back to Portland in four days to pick her up and do a few birthdays and other stuff. 

After taking Teri to PDX for her flight to BUR, I joined Ryan and Judy in Cannon Beach where they had been since last Sunday.  They were there for the Zawatzky's annual family get together at a gorgeous home they rent every year. It is  right next to the state park over looking the beach.

But before I got to the beach, I had to stop at my favorite tourist trap on Hwy 26. They have some really neat logging relics.


 Wish I had some one standing next to this for scale.  It is definitely the largest band saw I've seen.  Note the blade has teeth on both edges.

 Most everything was steam powered and mobile to follow the logging camps.


This is the view from the deck and quite a few of the rooms.

We went out to the point at the park for some sunset shots but there wasn't a cloud in the sky (second time this year that has happened).

I think that it might get windy here from time to time.

I stopped for some photos over the Crooked River on the way home, but they will wait for tomorrow.

Smoky here from a nearby fire, but still perfect weather.

Stay cool.
