We woke to the mid to end phase of the coastal storm and decided to push on south.
As we were going in to this tourist trap site, James told me: I don’t like the look of that statue. As we left, the “speaker voice” coming from the statue told us: You all travel safely! Faith turned to it all flustered and yelled: You’re the crazy one! We’re not sure exactly what it was that she thought she heard, but James suddenly noticed that the statue was winking at us. We all left shortly after in a pile of nervous laughter. I think the rain is getting to us.
We ate at a Logging Camp Cookhouse which was established in 1893. Delicious, bountiful family style meals. Lots of antiques and great photos. Opportunity to tell the kids some stories and history from my side of the family. Built on stilts over the ocean. Bathrooms that reminded me of a plywood ferry bathroom. Fun experience and great memories.
I have the video to prove it! We had to pull in our mirrors and inch through millimeter by millimeter (Can I use two systems of measurment in the same sentence?), but we made it! $5.00 US well spent for the hysterics it brought on.
Tomorrow we head further south. We caught sight of a hint of blue skies as we drove into this town tonight. It looks nicer as we get farther south. Looking forward to drying out!
The usual Oreon experience for our family. Right Stephen? We almost always had rough weather when we went there. Looks and sounds like you are still having a good time. Chris & Ruby have decided to push for California as well. Maybe you’ll meet? Hard to plan when you’re not communicating. Hi to Garnet, Grace, Faith and James. Enjoy this family time together. Love, Grandma
Yay! blue skies ahead! Even in the rain it still looks like you are all having fun!
