Pacific City Overnight

We went out to Pacific City and Cape Kiwanda for an overnight at the beach with a gift certificate that Heather won.  This is a wonderful portion of the Oregon coast!

Looking at the big rock offshore.

A few people out on the beach in the cold and wind.

The Pelican Brewery at night.

Foam on the beach.

Huge ball of bull kelp washed up overnight.

Another great day on the Oregon coast!

Tipped Over Hole Digger

We found this interesting situation when we came down the driveway in the morning.  The house being built down the hill was to receive power today.  Well… that won’t be happening.  The driveway gave out from underneath the hole digger truck which tipped it over and on its side.  Whoops!

Not a good day for that driver.

Extra crews hanging out waiting for things to be cleaned up.

One of the two big wreckers that responded to right the fallen over power company truck.

Snow and Mud in the Tillamook State Forest

Matt and I hit the trails in my Toyota 4runner and his Jeep Cherokee to map a few trails in the Tillamook State Forest for Trails Off-Road.

Up on Bates Road at the top of the ridge.

Playing around on the trail that crisscrosses the road.

Down at the bottom of the tricky part of Bates Road.

Matt trying to battle up through the snow on 7-Up.  I just *barely* made it in the Albino Rhino with both front and rear diffs locked, aired way down, and spinning tires all over the place.  Matt ended up having to come around the other side to get to the top.

Out on the south side of 7-Up with some amazing views.  What a great day!
