Day 97 - June 21, 2008
Today was a mini travel day from Fairview, Oregon to Cannon Beach, Oregon. It was quite amazing to see cars with surfboards on the top as opposed to yesterday when we saw people skiing and snowboarding. What an incredible state!!
Cannon Beach is such a quaint little seaside town. It was named for the cannon that washed ashore from a schooner shipwrecked in 1846. We went to the little downtown area and had a fabulous seafood lunch. We are getting spoiled with all this incredible seafood. I had a razor clam dinner that was out of this world. We continue to have good luck with our weather. Last night we had a bit of a mist so we didn't get to have our camp fire but during the day it was partly cloudy with the sun peeking out now and then. Guess what all you folks in the southeast - our high temperature for this next week is not expected to get above 62 degrees.
I hope you enjoy the pictures of this neat little place.

Note - beaches in Oregon are beautiful but they are not meant for swimming unless you have a full wetsuit. Notice that everyone is WALKING on the beach and not swimming.
