Thursday Sept 29
We had the van prepped
for a couple of days, ready to leave at a moments notice...the time was now. This morning we loaded up the last few things and after
locking up the house, we were Costco bound…needed a couple of prescriptions filled before
we left for our two week northern adventure.
By 11:00 am we were
north bound on highway 5. Our goal for today was to take I 5 to
Sutherland. Next we would veer left towards Florence (the coast). Then turn right
until you hit the town of Waldport, a quaint little village reminiscent of the New
England coast. Our friends Tony and Carol Laenen offered us their beach house, if we wanted it. Our answer? That would be a YES! This will be
phase 1 of our adventure.
Today, once we got off
of I 5, we cruised 101 taking in the stunning coast line, farming villages and
tourists sites like pay to see seal ions (there were none), or watching herds of elk getting ready for the
upcoming winter. We arrived at the beach house by 5:00pm.
After supper, the three of
us took a leisurely walk on the sunset drenched beach. We ended the day with a
movie. Tomorrow we explore Waldport.
