i was lately blessed with a visit from my younger brother, including an awesome roadtrip around northwestern oregon. we camped (he enjoyed playing firemaker), took in several very different views of the pacific, hiked in search of petroglyphs (found!) and dipped in a couple rivers.some highlights:
(since i rather not prioritize importance of one experience versus another, i've used sequential order of occurrence as my organizing principle)
- the view from the astoria column
- curry chicken quesadillas at urban cafe
- revolver-bearing firing range warning signs and cold war era light towers at cape disappointment (which i always mistakenly call cape despair or cape desolation...i'm so emo)
- the tsunami warning signs along 101
- sunset at canon beach
- the driftwood cemetery that is the beach in lincoln city
- touring and tasting at the rogue brewery & distillery
- sand drifts at agate beach in newport
- petroglyphs (mostly bears and water) east of sweet home
- the river in cascadia
- the stars in mt hood national forest (so many! so bright!)
- watching zack make fire and take pictures of it (for hours)
- bagby hot springs
- diving into the river/waterfall by babgy (perhaps more awesome than the hot springs)
- ending it all with yumminess from pastini back in portland
