Eugene, OR to Redwood National Park today. The Oregon Coast blew my socks off, it's like summer vacation without the heat. There's mist, and breeze, and I found an attached bivalve shell with purple iridescent insides. When we were crossing over the bridge to Astoria, one of the bridge workers pulled us over to look at the sea lions frolicking under the bypass. And we went to the original
Goonies house (favorite movie of all time). It's been a great few days. Pictures and more coming soon, right now we're trucking it down to California to get a spot in the campground before it fills up.
And now for the Astoria photo montage.

| Check out this view from the top of the column (a long spiraling drive up a mountain) in Astoria. The bridge to Astoria is visible, and the city is below, along the coast and built into the hills. |

| Here is my beautiful shell, which now lives behind the passenger seat in our car. |

| Does this look familiar? |
 |
| Or this? These are Haystack rocks on Cannon Beach in Astoria. Also featured in the Goonies, best movie of all time. |

Hello! I love reading all your posts! I have been talking with Peggy and Gretchen a little bit and between them they have given me the information to keep up with you guys! I am so excited for you. Jason went to college in Missoula Montana and he says you guys belong there. Hey if you get to south west Missouri I have an empty house you can crash in to visit the ozarks. :)
Love you lots and be safe,
Miranda Brant
Cool to get some feedback from Miranda! Remind me to have you to listen to Miranda's phone message I saved from before your amazing wedding.
Can't wait to see/hear more about this wonderful adventure!

Miranda! Thanks for commenting! How exciting that you are reading! We did love MIssoula, there was something about it that felt good. Thanks for the offer on the house! We'd love to see the Ozarks sometime. Hope you are doing well! Carleen
