Went to Cannon Beach, about 10 miles south, on Wednesday on the recommendation of our friend, Greg. Glad we did. This place was busy, busy, busy! A tourist town, like Cambria, but cars all over the place. We could live here, but, again, it is too windy. We walked the beach and took the following pictures.
People here at the beach need wind screens. See all of the
orange wind breakers behind the beach chairs.
Thought these metal statutes in a resort north of town are cute.

We named this picture "Solitude."
Motorcycles in front of restaurant. Did not see any franchises in this town.
Cannon Beach is definitely a tourist place.
Then, yesterday, we went to the local Crown Victoria Car Show.

One of the cars painted T-Bird Blue.
Jerry took a VIDEO of the show.
Then, today we drove 20 miles north to Astoria, Oregon, for its Sunday Farmer's Market. Astoria is right at the mouth of the Columbia River that runs all the way to Portland and beyond. The State of Washington on the other side of the river.
The town started this Farmer's Market in 2000 and it has expanded beyond the town's expectations. There are lots of different kinds of food, live music, including jazz players, and activity. We enjoyed our time in Astoria this afternoon.
We leave here tomorrow and have a five-hour drive back to the Osprey Point RV Resort, a place we were already at earlier this summer in Oregon. We are heading south and gradually making our way back to California.
