Hiking and more

Did some hiking in the area, when at the Cabin On The Creek rental house.

Some of the trail.

Green Slug.

Ran into some hard areas to get through.

Came across a park ranger who was clearing some trail in a different area and asked if we could clear some areas if we had cutters.  Was told to go for it.

Went to Ace Hardware in Lincoln City, bought two cutters and one pair of gloves.  We would use a cutter in one hand and hold the branch, which some had thorns, with the other hand. 

Salmon Berries.  We were told by the ranger they were good to eat.  We left them for the birds and bears. 

Love being in the green.

Foxglove

Located .09 tenths of a mile from rental.  Walked to it. 

Tried to get pizza at Otis Pizzeria in Otis, OR but was ignored by employees.  Got the hint, left and went to Gallucci's Pizza in Lincoln City. 

My pizza, JoAnn's is in the photo above.  It was okay but not as good as Papa John's and Pizza Ranch.

Out on lots of gravel roads. 

The suspension bridge over Drift Creek Falls spans 240 feet, hanging 100 feet above the canyon floor.  Built in 1997, all the materials were flown in by helicopter.  The bridge can support 165,000 pounds.

The falls from standing on the bridge.

Falls from down at the bottom.

Trail back to the car. 

Who is that?

Waited for a cool day in McMinnville so we could go over to look at SUVs.

There was a dead bird on the deck at the rental and some slugs were eating what was left. 

This slug was four inches long.
