Oregon trail

Deck overlooks the Golf Course...scores of little animal and birds everywhere.

House has a great design...lots of windows for light.

Their "House in the Trees", just to get in you have to survive the bridge.

Oregon Coast in July can be cold...
I can see why so many left there homes back east to follow their dream on the Oregon Trail...the tales they must have heard about the paradise out west that awaited them...driving up the coast today we saw the dreams of 1000's of our ancestors. The beauty and bounty of this State are tremendous. Just think of the great adventure, hardship, anxiety, and promise people must have felt as they toiled on the road. I really think the world was a better place when it was bigger and held more hope for people. Look around today,  where is the adventure, where is the hope, where is the excitement, and where is the promise. Just sayin.

Today we made it to Rog and Deidre's. Cocktail's and a wonderful freshly (that morning) smoked salmon were served on the deck with lots of laughter and conversation. Roger is a master chef and Deird's is his help...together they put a wonderful meal on the table for Nanc and I...such wonderful friends are had to come by.
