I traveled south on Hwy 101 to McMenamins Gerhardt
Hotel. I got three Passport Stamps and
the prize. I visited the second floor of
the Annex to find the hidden room. Very
interesting.
I traveled south to Ecola State Park where I photographed
the Tillamook Lighthouse (Geocaching Virtual). I drove to Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock
Motel Office. I stayed in cottage
2B. It had a large Living Room/Dining
Room/Kitchen with bathroom and bedroom. I
parked at Public Parking in downtown. I
bought a 1/2 lb. of salt water taffy for Christopher at Bruce's Candy Kitchen. I had pizza and a glass of Chianti wine at
Fultano's Pizza for dinner. I got a
carton of Stoneridge vanilla ice cream at the market to take back to the motel.
Friday, June 7 - I drove south to the Lookout to photograph Haystack
Rocke (Earthcache) and then north to explore Cannon Beach. I bought a large almond pastry at the
bakery. Delicious! I ate half and saved the rest to have
later. I was deeply disappointed that
the Cannon Beach Library was not open even though the sign said it should be
open. I like buying books that are for
sale. I bought a book at Jupiters Rare
and Used Books. I picked up a couple
DVD's at the motel office but did not end up watching them. I watched HGTV instead as I do not get that
channel at home.
Saturday, June 8 - I watched film "McFarland" starring
Kevin Costner on television. I packed
the car. I walked down to the office to
leave the DVDs and check out. I had a
late breakfast at the Pig 'n Pancake. I
walked down to the beach to watch the sandcastles being created at 1:30PM. A few of them were quite good. I stayed until they announced the winners of
the Master's Division. I wandered back
to the Haystack Rock Motel parking lot to get my car. I headed north and then west to Forest
Grove. I got a final McMenamins stamp
and the prize. I attended the GEOregon May
Meet 'Greet at the Copper River Restaurant in Hillsboro. I had a California roll with sliced avocado
and a glass of Chardonnay wine. I headed
home.
