Kickin' it at the coast

Ever get the urge to drive up the Oregon coast and stop at all of the antique stores in the little beach towns?

No? Well, I do.

B and I drove out to Tillamook and then north up the coast to Cannon Beach on Saturday. The forecast called for a crummy day in Portland so we headed to the beach. Even if the weather is cloudy/rainy/windy, the coast is such a great place. We stopped in Manzanita for some fish 'n' chips and noticed the very hip Cyber Cafe.....
B recently bought an old camera and has been wanting to experiment with it, so we pulled off the 101 in a small town called Two Rocks. He took this by shooting his digital camera through the viewfinder of the old camera.
On the way back to Portland, we stopped at Camp 18, an old logging camp on the side of highway 26. It's one of those places that we've always driven by, just never stopped. If there were truck stops in the mountains, Camp 18 would be one of them. Big meals, chinzy souvenirs, and great people watching. Even a life-size, chain-saw scuplted Sasquatch.
