November 10, 2008: The rain cleared again today so we made a jaunt from Seaside to Cannon Beach. Had clam chowder at Mo's. The restaurant sits right on the beach with a clear view of Haystack, the rock formation. We did our part for the environment by metal-detecing and removing nails, bottle caps, pull tabs, etc. As one spectator adolescent girl marveled, "I bet they are OLD nails." Kind of sweet that she was trying to be supportive of a very pathetic pile of trash. I've decided to tell people I am adding to my beer bottle top collection.
November 7, 2008 The weather in the past 5 days has been rainy with fairly high winds. Today was calm so we spent the afternoon in Astoria at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. (http://www.crmm.org/) We came away with an even greater appreciation of the Columbia River and the U.S. Coast Guard.
November 2, 2008 Arrived at the Seaside Thousand Trails park amid intermittent showers. It was an easy drive from Washougal and we were set up by noon today. We plan on a lot of outings while we are here. Seaside is on the Pacific coast and is the official end of the Lewis and Clark trail. Seaside's beach is about 250 ft. wide and is said to be the most heavily used of those along the Oregon coast. We will be here for two weeks so there should be ample opportunity for exploring the beach and historic sites close by.

Hi Judy, where are you headed for the winter? Will you be going to Texas this year or are you staying on the west coast?
Those Oregon beaches are sure nice to look at...not so good for swimming. Now get out there and show the moles how to dig.
