These two photos were taken at Depoe Bay, with the Hwy 101 bridge in the background. Our little friend was very humanized, and with a few almonds in my pocket, this little guy just about crawled up our legs. Good thing we didn't have Sami along, or the howls would have been heard miles away! Under the bridge, is the entrance to Depoe Bay, billed as the smallest harbor in the world. It was low tide, and we watched several boats make their way through the small channel, which doesn't allow much room for error. At the back of the harbor, just under the arch in the photo, top left, is the U.S. Coast guard station which is nicknamed "the hole in the wall gang". When we spent over a week here last September, I rode my KLR650 up here and happened to catch the "Coasties" maneuvering their two small boats in and out of the harbor. This is really a cool place, and the entrance to the very small harbor (3 docks), is very unique.
We drove back south to Newport on Hwy229, which is an inland road that wound it's way along the Selitz river. Even though it was only about 30 miles from Depoe Bay back to Newport, it took about an hour, and was really a pretty drive.
This morning, the fog has finally rolled in, and this is the first morning in about 2 weeks that we have not awakened to sunshine. Tomorrow we head inland for a motor home appointment at Coach Care in Coburg, then up to Albany for the Family Motor Coach Ass'n (FMCA) Northwest Rally in Albany, which starts on June 4th.
