Nehalem Bay in November

The Sunday before Thanksgiving, Bruce, Terry, Belinda, and I did a few miles near the town of Nehalem, scooting along some back channels on the upper bay and exploring the main stem of the Nehalem up to the confluence with its North Fork. Lunch at Wanda's was our reward. Not bad for late fall!

Nehalem focuses on Hwy 101 nowadays, but was a river town in its infancy.
