Misc. Animal Pictures from our trip

The above bird tried to steal my lunch! I finally gave up and threw him a piece of bread. He would fly in and try to haul off as many pieces as he could before he would fly off. He kept coming back til it was all gone.

We found these little chipmunks all over the place at Crater Lake National Park

I don't know which one was "Chip" and which one was "Dale" though.

Misc. Animal Pictures from our trip

On the various trails to the lighthouses we ran in to a lot of these little caterpillers. They were everywhere.

There were warning signs all over the redwoods regarding the "Wild Elk."

They didn't look to dangerous to me.

Multnomah Falls - Near Portland

Multnomah Falls - Near Portland. We took the hike up to the bridge. It seemed to be straight up but the view was awesome. I can't believe I actually leaned over the edge of that bridge to take a picture.

The view looking straight down from the bridge.

Wahkeena Falls - Near Portland OR

It was hard to get this falls all in one picture.

We hiked up to the first lookout point for this picture. About a 1/2 mile up. It was hard to get a picture from the bridge because of the mist coming off of the falls.

The bottom portion of the falls as it turns into a river.

More lighthouses

This is the functioning light house North Head at Cape Disappointment.

This one is located at Cape Disappointment. It actually is not a functioning lighthouse. It couldn't be seen so they built a replacement around the corner. The hike up to this lighthouse may have been a bit more dangerous that we anticipated. The path was really muddy and we kept seeing the following warning signs.

Makes you a little nervous.

Heceta Head Lighthouse- Florence OR

Got the picture from the internet - mine didn't turn out that great. This one Tillamook Head is actually nicknamed Terrible Tilly

Yaquina Bay Lighthouse - Newport OR

Yaquina Head Lighthouse - in Newport OR

Day 8 of OR/CA Trip - Seaside

Here is a picture of the view from the balcony of our room. It was cool to see fishermen going up and down the river right outside the hotel.

Downtown Seaside - lots of shops that lead all the way to the beach



All of the lamp posts in the area have these starfish on them. They are made out of lights. It makes the street light up at night.

Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach, I love this beach. We walked down to haystack rock. Unfortunately, it was high tide so we couldn't get out to the rock. It's a beautiful beach.

Tillamook

We stopped at the cheese factories in Tillamook today and took the self guided tours. Kind of interesting and the free samples were pretty good.

They had a Tillamook Ice Cream parlor in the cheese factory. The Ice Cream was very good.

This is what they called a sampler at the ice cream counter. That's more ice cream than I could eat in a week. I settled for a single scoop sundae but the sampler sure did look good.

This factory was more of a petting zoo. It was kind of weird. They had everything there from an Emu to a peacok.

Lighthouses

This lighthouse is at Cape Meares near Tillamook

A Few More Sunsets

I love sunsets. Here are a few more from the coast.

Day 7 of CA/OR Trip - More Ocean Pics

Today we left Eugene, OR and traveled over to Florence. We worked our way up North stopping at points along the way. Shops, Lighthouses, view points, etc. We are now in Seaside and plan to check out this area tomorrow.

Sea Lions

We tried to see the Sea Lions at the sea lion caves, but the sea lions weren't in the cave.

Instead of the sea lion caves, we were able to see several Sea Lion from a view point a little ways down the road.

Newport, OR

We spent a little time in Newport today. They had several murals in the city that were interesting. Here are a few pictures of Newport.
