An invitation to visit Oregon and the "Banana Belt" was irresistible, especially as I'd never been there and am always excited to visit new-to-me venues.
 |
| The Oregon welcoming committee, my first day here! |
 |
A three mile walk was a
great way to start each day. |
 |
This was a hike with loads of variety.
Riverviews, fish hatchery, a dam,
fish ladder, and several small treks. |
 |
A local vineyard near Shady Cove proved an
excellent place to review the initial days in Oregon. |
 |
| Jada and Murph enjoyed the winery. |
 |
| Significant wildlife views near Jada's home. |
 |
| Our route to the "Banana Belt." |
 |
| Home away from home in Brookings Harbor |
 |
| In a local pub. |
 |
| Loads of beautiful, rugged shoreline. |
 |
This tunnel through the hedge lead to a beautiful,
shaded copse at Crissey Field State Recreation Site. |
 |
| Just beyond the hedge tunnel was the Pacific Ocean. |
 |
| Back in Brookings, this mural caught my eye. |
 |
This kite was a flying over Brookings.
It seemed to be 10-15 feet long! |
 |
| That's the cuphole! |
 |
We visited many booths at the Pirate Fest
which was taking place in Brookings. |
 |
Fat Irish Pub was a great spot in
Brookings at the mouth of the
Chetco River in Brookings. |
 |
The steep, rugged hike down to Secret Beach led us to
this secluded waterfall. |
 |
| Secret Beach |
 |
We walked several hundred yards
along Secret Beach. |
 |
This natural tunnel through the rock was
very dramatic and interesting. |
 |
| Looking back towards the shore. |
 |
| Looking out to sea. |
 |
The artist/photographer who
deserves absolute credit for all the photos
in this series of posts, Jada Crellin Ahern. |
 |
Our route today. For the post beyond Secret Beach,
