Oregon & Sea Stacks

Goodbye California — Hello Oregon! Saturday we cross the state line (just before the cops can nab us!) into the hazelnut and cranberry state.




There was a semi-large queue of folks at the Oregon state line snapping their photos by the sign — just like this goof above. You'd think they'd build a parking lot to handle all the cars instead of having everyone pull to the shoulder of the highway. Kinda dangerous. We had to snap some photos for other people, like the two guys who drove from Santa Cruz and now that they'd crossed over the line, were heading straight back. They just wanted the photo op, we guess.

Oregon has more terrific rocky shoreline bluffs and rugged beauty.












We stop for the night in little Bandon, Oregon and go for dinner at Thai Thai, which is top notch, but don't order the curry 'mild plus' because it really comes 'BLISTERING HOT PLUS!' Lots of sweating over here.... not a pretty sight....

Bandon is the cranberry capital of the USA. Ocean Spray even has a factory here and buys up all the berries. Bandon also has great sea stacks on the beach so we take a stroll amongst them while the tide is out.













Did I mention I'm obsessed with sea stacks? Love them!
