These photo's were taken at a place called "Harbor", Oregonlocated on the southern Oregon Coast.
We ( Laurie, My Mom, and myself) had lunch- dinner at a small but busy restaurant located on the pier overlooking the docks. It made for a nice and soothing lunch - dinner.
A picture of the Northern California Coastline. On the way to the Oregon Border.
As you can tell the weather was a little cool and we ran into several patches of fog. But overall it was a great day.
We decided that we wanted to get out of town for the day. So we called my mom and asked if she wanted to go to the coast with us. She was excited to go. We just went over and goofed off for the day. It is about a 90 mile trip each way for us to get there so we don't make the trip as often as we would like to. It is an interesting trip as we have to cross into California and then backtrack to get to the Southern Oregon Coast. The trip is a beautiful one though and I am always in awe of the rugged beauty of the trip. Some of the road cuts through a very rugged section of the coast mountain range. One one side of the road you have a very large and unmoving mountain. On the other side you have a sheer drop off of a couple hundred feet with the river at the bottom. The only thing that separates the vehicles from the river is a metal guardrail system. On the way back we are on the river side of the road ( 2 lane) . Mom and Laurie kept looking over the edge as we passed by and the comments they were making were really humorous. Mom kept telling me I needed to start driving on the other side of the road ( the on-coming lanes!) :) Everyone had a great time. We did not get back home until about 7:00 pm. Of course we were a bit tired bythe time we got back home. But it was a wonderful way to spend the day!!. I'm looking forward to being able to make more outings like this one.

I am so glad that you are able to have outings like this, and that mom is actually able to enjoy them now! She has come such a long way, and a lot of that has to do with YOU, Larry. Without you I don't know that she would be near where she is today. I can never thank you enough.
The pictures are beautiful, as always. I loved going over there with you guys when we were there last year. It truly is beautiful, and very different from the passive coastline that we have here.
