Oregon coast - pdedse - 04-16-2021

Took the day off and decided to do a loop: Gresham to McMinville, then over to the Neskowin on the coast, head north to Pacific City, Tillamook to Cannon Beach on hiway 101, then back east to Portland on 26.

Wilsonville Road hugs the Williamette River and what a lovely road--lots of horse ranches and farms. I saw signs for walnuts and hazlenuts.

Strange housing development surrounded by nothing but trees. Long, tall and narrow homes. I wonder what they look like on the inside.

Started at 10am from Gresham and by 1:00 was at the coast.

Lovely looking country pdedse. I'm kinda jealous.

As you get near the coast, the dairy farms appear

Just north of Neskowin

Heading towards Pacific City

A beautiful day at the beach

I brought along my new Canon SX740 camara. I mainly bought it for its zoom, and it didn't disappoint. The couple climbing the sand dune, dressed in black, at the bottom:

And now using the zoom...didn't know there was kid between them:

Just to the left of the trees on the ridge, you can barely make out a couple sitting:

And a close-up:

A little blurry, but not bad for hand-held about 500-600 meters away
It was turning out to be a fairly warm day at the beach. Surfers doing their thing.

A number of sand dunes where you can dune buggy and ride enduro.

Come on over!

RE: Oregon coast - Cormanus - 04-16-2021

Just lovely pdedse. The camera seems good too. It's amazing that the pleasant looking ocean is the same one that laps at shores near me.

A day on the bike would be an agreeable thing at the moment.

RE: Oregon coast - Rocky_imp - 04-16-2021

Nice ride and pictures Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

RE: Oregon coast - peterbaron - 04-16-2021

Pdedse, how much for guaranteeing nice and warm weather with the blue sky for So Ontario/CAN ?? Smile

RE: Oregon coast - GoldOxide_imp - 04-16-2021

Very nice collection pdedse.

Some interesting images.

RE: Oregon coast - Jonz_imp - 04-17-2021

Great photos! I'm just starting my move to Astoria from Seattle. Lots of back and forth. By June I'll be more than ready for a ride and company if your coming out again. Jon Z

Would love to send you some, but I'm not sure if we can spare any! On the other hand, I heard forest fire cautions were given--and it's April! These usually don't begin until July or August. I hope that isn't foreboding for later this summer and early fall--had enough of the smoke and near evacs last year.

More photos...hiway 101 is well named--because there are 101 photo opps.

Just north of Pacific City

...actually, now that I think of it, PC isn't on 101, you have to veer off from 101 to get to PC. I think the above is on Cape Kiwanda Dr or Sandlake--it seems to change names as you travel either direction.

I was about 30-40 meters from these guys who were having fun in the shallows:

Ok, one was having more fun than the other

I think it was in Netarts that I pulled over to take a look at Lex's Cool Stuff shop. And there were lots of cool knick-knack things. Lexi herself was on the side of her shop and when she saw me she stopped her watering and encouraged me to go inside...I told her I had no room to purchase anything cool today, but she assured me no matter, and insisted I step inside and look around, try her brownies--she makes 6 batches every day for her customers.
[Image: 21cf8ead325e2725b577c82becc71c84.jpg]

Lexi explained that she moved there 18 years ago, has a little cottage right down on the coast, and started her curios shopt on a whim and it has survived by people bringing her cool things and she sells 'em.
[Image: 034c9cd7a492a3619f4199c4a03ddd0a.jpg]

She told me a few stories, seemed to want to chat some more, but I was getting hot all bundled up in the mc garb.
[Image: b7170172c5007ba127491035e41b76f6.jpg]
Lovely lady...she pressed the wrapped up brownies into my hands and I was off...

Jonz! Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we do a group ride around Mt. Hood? Sorry, it's been a few years and I can't remember the names.

Would be very happy to ride with you, Astoria and area is great. Good luck with the move.
