| Jon Bear does Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon |
Seaside, Astoria, Cannon Beach
For those of you not in the loop, Jon is my polar bear co-pilot. He has been on all of my road trips, and he is pretty wonderful ( if not a little dirty...both mind and body) But really what he does is fill the void when there is nothing to talk about, and when you are driving alone there is almost never anything to talk about, or to talk to. Enter Jon.
Today was rainy and wet, but so enjoyable. Jon and I went for a nice long walk along Cannon beach, a truly amazing beach and I have to believe that on a nice day in the summer it is like a zoo! (side note, are zoos typically really busy?) But today the rain was coming down so hard, and the wind was blowing so strong that I was alone on the beach. And after an hour of walking I was soaked to the bone.
After coming back into seaside, doing some groceries and warming up again it was off to go find the Columbia River Maritime Museum (A building that is designed to look like the waves that the area is so well known for) Can we say VALUE! 10 dollars for one of the most enjoyable little museums I have had the pleasure of seeing! Golly! Followed by a wander up to the Blue Scorcher Bakery, awesome little place that is a must for all your trips to Astoria.
I took my fantastic host Neils' advice and went for Mexican at The Stand, excellent food!! I think I am going to be bigger than my car by the time I pull into Toronto.

When I first saw the caption I read "Hackysack Rock" and thought, what an epic place to play.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fantastic place but I can see how it would be ruined by those damn hoards of people.
Something has to be done about this...
