Guess what? Today we had SUN!!....next month is Josh's birthday so we decided to cruise over to Lincoln City and see what we could find as a birthday present. As an active, soon to be, teenager, there's lots of things he could use. He ended up with a nice set of Nikes and a new skateboard.....it was a fun day....
Here's a picture of "D" river..I think it was named after Debi..:)...it's the worlds smallest river at 120 feet long.
Besides the world's smallest river, Depoe Bay also boasts the World's Smallest Harbor. This Harbor covers a mere 6 acres and is accessed through a narrow channel while avoiding the waves as they break through the channel. Once they pass the breakwater, they navigate under U.S. Hwy 101 and into the quiet solitude of the Harbor. Of course, there is a Coast Guard Station there also.
Once inside the Harbor the fishing boats off load their harvest where the fish are cleaned and cooked right on the wharf. Here we see Tuna that were just caught. Those are filet tables and the guy in the lower left corner is fileting the fish there. Behind him are cooking pots loaded with crab and ice containers for the cleaned fish. His two friends in the water are waiting for any handouts he want to throw their way...which he did often....
Debi decided to go exploring and discovered this road off the beaten path. It runs alongside the coast and is only one way. The Oregon Coast Bikeway also uses this road. This is the Otter Crest Loop. I am glad I didn't take the Coach down this road....
Often I get asked about our campsites. Since today was not too eventful, I thought I would include a picture of our site at Whaler's Rest. Even though it's a private campground, (Thousand Trails) spaces are made available to the public. We think it's one of the nicest Thousand Trails parks on the West Coast. Lots of room between sites and plenty of camping areas.
