Geo: 45.3001, -122.973This morning we went for a walk on Cannon Beach. There was a cool wind but the tide was out and there were many people walking, kids making sandcastles, people riding bikes. The Haystack and the other rock pillars look different in the morning light so Peter was keen to get some more photos. Fletcher found the soft sand hard going so after a short walk he perched on a large piece of driftwood and I joined him after a short stroll. We watched the gulls drinking from the shallow trickle of fresh water nearby and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the morning.We checked out about 11am and drove into the main town. There I had a half hour stroll to look at some of the shops. They are mainly gift and souvenir ... read more

Today I left Newberg, OR for Skagway, AK. I am traveling with my friend Linda who is from Oregon as well. I drove to Marysville, WA and spent the night in my motorhome/van for the first time. It was cold, but my preparation eventually allowed my dog Dylan and I to get warm and get some sleep. The next morning Linda and I met up in Marysville, and traveled across the border to Canada and then on into 100 Mile, BC, CA. We spent the night in a motel and were nice and warm.... read more

We all are looking forward to it but I'm sure we will miss each other.......eventually :-) ... read more

The morning kind of set the scene for the day as we opened the door to a fog bank… Statistics Starting Destination: Morton, Washington Ending Destination: Newberg, ... read more
