1st's...

Yesterday I tied my own shoes for the first time in 7 years.. And today I figured out how to make an animation using, InDesign. The learning curve is back.
(UpDate) I screwed up..... The animation was done using, Image Ready, not InDesign.

Vacation 05' Home Ward Bound...

Home ward bound...


Looking towards Aberdeen, (to the West) on the way home.


The town of South Bend..


Up the HWY 107 cut-off grade..


Near the Highway home and this journey's end.

Vaction 05' Vittles...

This is the best, damn store we have run across in a long time. It's like the general store of old. If Jacks doesn't have it, you don't need it.

Located in Ocean Park WA., (on the Longbeach Peninsula.)

Vacation 05'.. The Dive..

The dump we stayed at while on vacation 05'. Over priced. 1930's I love Lucy nightmare. No phone, no back door, no dead-bolt on the front door, (I had to wedge a chair under the door knob at night for security.) Had a Mexican Grocery store in front, (of which we had a view of the back.) Cable TV so bad I have seen better reception from rabbit-ears.

To it's advantage it had a nice, clean kitchen.. Other than this, not recomended and we won't stay here again.

(I'm not even going to name it, I don't want to waste a plug on it.
2 nights stay: $170.00.. RIPOFF.)

Vacation pasta!


Peppy was pretty wiped out after hiking all day.

Vacation 05' Long Beach...

This boardwalk extends for almost a mile and meanders through the salt grass across the dunes. It is a pretty neat thing. Has benches and drinking water fountains every couple hundred yards. I bet it's a great place for some storm watching.


Another look at North Head from across the dunes.


Long Beach, WA looking South towards the point that North Head light, sits on.


A few years ago a whale had washed up on the shore, dead. They buried it in the sand for a couple, three years to let nature strip it to the bones.. These they dug up and put them together for for all to see. A very nice bronze sculpture graces the spot.


Close up of bronze whale.


Whale head to tail.

Vacation 05' North Head...

Easy walk to the lighthouse...


So easy even mister pinkie shirt, found his way.


The North Head lighthouse, built in 1856.. Over looks the Mouth of the Columbia river and the Graveyard of the Pacific.


A close up of the light and parapet.


The Pacific crashing against the rocks at the base of the Light.


A long shot of the same view.


Looking North from the light towards Longbeach, WA.,(just over that hill and a little piece beyond.) Longbeach is where Lewis and Clark first got their tootsies wet in the Pacific Ocean after their long walk across the USA.


South towards Oregon..


Looking South, (from the lighthouse) towards the Columbia river bar and Astoria, Oregon.
