At the Coast on Friday...

This is a picture of our hosts, Laurin and Sheri Hill. They took really good care of us and took us to see some beautiful scenery. This picture was shot at Cannon Beach. The Pacific is in the background.



Calana and I are running to the water. We heard the ocean temperature was a balmy 60 degrees.



Laurin, his son Graham and I are in Astoria, OR. We are on top of the Astoria Column overlooking the Columbia river and Washington State behind us. Lewis and Clark built Fort Clatsop just around the corner 200 years previously.

(Ooops! This caption is wrong. Yes, it is my cousin Laurin and his son Graham but that is the Pacific Ocean in the background and not the Columbia. We were at the Astoria Column, near Fort Clatsop, earlier that day.)



The Hill's of Portland. That is "Haystack Rock" behind them. When the tide went out we were able to look at crabs and starfish in the tidal pools that were left behind. Pretty neat.



Returning to the mothership.



This is the sunset on "Haystack Rock". Awed by creation.

I am cracking up over the "mothership" caption. Thanks for the laugh. (Good to see the other beauty, too.)
