Crashing Waves

Woke up to fog today, which is not that unusual. It hung around for most of the day. We're thankful for the sunny day yesterday.

Great breakfast at The Drift Inn then back to Spouting Horn/Thor's Well at low tide to poke around in the tide pools. (We'd come back in the afternoon at high tide). Then we drove north about 15 miles to the town of Waldport and had a decent lunch at a Pizza/Fish place. We didn't like Waldport - seemed kind of creepy somehow! Its only claim to fame is the interesting bridge over the Alsea River.

Then back to the Cape Perpetual area and Devil's Churn, said to be best at high tide. Wow! You hike down to the rocks and get up close and personal with the waves crashing in. You can scramble along the rocks and feel the spray. The power is awesome. Its almost frightening. Then we went on down the road to see Thor's Well, at high tide. Is is so cool!!

I took a bunch of video clips today which I hope I can link together. Still photos don't do these things justice.

We head back to Bend tomorrow. We've decided we really like this quirky little town! The Adobe hotel is fine. The Fireside next door looks good too.
