On the road again!

On Friday, September 17th, I left Vancouver at 8:00am, traveled north to Centralia, west on Hwy 12 to Westport where I found two Virtual Geocaches - Westport Lighthouse and Westport Maritime Museum and then south to connect to Hwy 101.  I had purchased a fruit and cheese protein box and dark chocolate covered grahams at Starbucks which I ate as I drove south toward Long Beach, Washington. 

I arrived at the Chautauqua Lodge in Long Beach about 4:30pm.  I had a nicely decorated room on the third floor (top floor) with a distant view of the ocean.  I had a great night's sleep.  I attend two Geocaching Events in Long Beach on Saturday.  I received a coin and a goody bag.  I enjoyed talking with other cachers.  I ate dinner at Drop Anchor.  I had another great night's sleep.  It was stormy both nights but I slept right through it. 

Early Sunday morning I headed east and then south to Cannon Beach/Tolovana.  I attended a Geocaching Event at a picnic table overlooking the beach/ocean.  A rainbow appeared briefly off shore.  I had a banana from the hotel breakfast and a delicious sticky bun from the Event hosts for breakfast.  I stopped by Bruce's Candy Kitchen in downtown Cannon Beach where I bought my son Christopher (Dancing Penguin) a small bag pre-filled with wrapped taffy.  I got home about 4:00pm.  It was a great trip.
