Oregon coast day trip

Yesterday, we headed for Vernonia Oregon for the oregon trail road rally, my lady friends son was working in one of the pit crews for the road rally. We didnt get to see much action, because most of all the compeating cars all broke down or wrecked, from all the rough terrain they had to traverse.
In fact
We picked up 2 drivers from Michigan who had spun out, ditched it and lost 2nd gear, their hopes for a win was lost. they couldnt put up the hills in 3rd gear with their 6 speed suburu tranny....... they offered us $20 to take them back to the pits, we declined and said jump in and hang on my lady is driving...... lol
The heat was a factor as well - friday it was 100 and saturday was 95 out, the oregon coast set record temps up n down the coast.


We had to stop and play in the Nehalem River for a bit to cool off.

From there we headed for Cannon Beach Oregon and enjoyed a wonderful eveing relaxing at the beach, We ate some dinner at Bills, Tavern and brewery.
the halibut fish n chips were great, the oyster shooters were fresh and the blackberry ales were good.
over all it was a great day of sites and sounds and people watching
