Pacific Coast Highway, Oregon

We don't see this sign on the east coast!

Looking south along the Pacific Coast, Oregon.

Bill is returning from checking out the beach.

A northern look at the Pacific Ocean.
Due to constant northern winds, the
trees and shrubs are forced to
grow with the prevailing wind.

Waves crashng on old lava rock.

About halfway down the Oregon coast, we
encountered real sand. Notice the grass
covered dunes to the left.

The dunes of the central Oregon coast are the
largest in North America.

Interesting rock formations jutting out of the water.

Beautiful scenery. It was 58 degrees with the
wind constantly blowing at 35 miles per hour.
Brrrr!

High tides and storms lifted the driftwood
debris to the tops of the beach.

The fog rolling onto the beach.

Because of the wet temperate climate,
Spanish moss can grow on the trees.

I finally got my California sign!

I just had to snap this picture here at the Lighthouse Inn
In Crescent City, California. The decor is beautiful.
The view overlooks the harbor where the tsunami
caused by the Japanese earthquake washed ashore.
