I decided to take a drive to the coast, which was foggy. Go figure. Every morning has been staring off with fog before the sun burns it off. Today at the coast it was foggy pretty much the entire time I was there. It was just a matter of degree. When I was at Cape Foulweather I was in full sun with a solid layer of fog below me. It looked like I was on an airplane flying over the clouds.

I just stopped at any wayside that caught my fancy. The only two I didn’t go to were the two that I was actually planning to see. The parking lot for Fogarty Creek is isolated and there was not a car there. Signs warn that it’s not safe to leave your valuables in your car. Since today was a travel day for me, all of my stuff was in the car. There was a guy who looked a bit sketchy hanging around, so I left.

The other place I planned to visit was Cape Kiwanda, but it was absolutely packed.

The rest of my day was spent driving to Portland. I took the scenic route. Oh and I finally found excellent fall color – along Salem city streets. Maybe I should hike in the cities and take fall foliage pictures. Speaking of which, I only shot three frames today.


Which of the following did I not see today?
A) Quail
B) The Oscar Meyer Wienermobile
C) Bald Eagles
D) Bigfoot
E) Rifle toting men walking along the side of a state highway
