Thursday 15~~~~ Kent and I went to the beach this morning, stopping at the casino on the way for lunch. It was a nice sunny day and the beach had quite a few people on it. We went over to the Bayview Tavern at Nehalem for chicken, Joe's and cold beer for dinner. We go there every time we go to the beach to see Susie the owner and enjoy the food. We are going back home tomorrow afternoon, we just wanted to check on the house and Kent needed to pick up the mail. We both miss going to the beach and fishing in the ocean right in front of our house, maybe one day we will be off the road and we can start going to the beach more. Friday16~~~~The day is brisk outside this morning, but the sunshine is beautiful. We walked on the beach and we took some pictures of a coal carrier ship that wrecked back in the early 1800's and the winter storms uncovered the ribs of the ship. (pictures) It has been uncovered one other time in the past 30 years. We walk the beach all the time and it seems impossible so much sand could be hiding it and a storm washes the sand away and there it is. I am also posting a few pictures of our quaint little town of Rockaway Beach and the beach house.
