As we left Newport and passed Cape Foulweather (yes that really is the name) we were slowed down by work on the fallen trees from the latest windstorm.
Oregon believes you need to follow a car after you've been stopped for road work.
We drove through Depoe Bay--such a beautiful little spot in the road.
We drove past lots of Skunk Cabbage--a beautiful flower with a nasty smell. You don't want to go anywhere near it, but it sure is nice to look at. The yellow spots are Skunk Cabbage.
We drove through Astoria with only one stop at Home Bakery. Had to buy a loaf of their yummy rye bread and a couple of treats. This bakery has things you just can't buy anywhere else--lots of Scandinavian goodies. Drool.
There are rhodies like this all the way up the coast.
The azaleas look like these everywhere in the "moist" areas this time of year. All the rain sure makes the towns beautiful.
Britta likes castles, but I'd rather see a scene like this than any castle any day. This is my idea of a beautiful sight.
I did put my order in for rain before we left home and I got it, but I goofed and forgot to ask for the wind not to be included. It was a drive that was very easy on the eyes today but the wind made it a bit tough for Gary. It was my kind of day, but I wasn't driving.
