Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

Oregon Travel

What a beautiful place this area is!! We traveled to Astoria yesterday along the Columbia River, following Lewis and Clark trail. Once in Astoria it was plain to see there was lots to do, so we just found a really quaint B and B, walked around the little town (established 1811, named after John Jacob Astor) and had a nice little dinner. We got up this am, had breakfast with the owner and the other guests which was really fun, and then we toured the town (you know the drill; Maritime Museum, old Queen Anne style house museum, and then my Mecca, Fort Clatsop). I just love the Lewis and Clark story and to see where they spent the winter was so cool.
We didn't leave there until about 3 but drove all the way down to Tillamook. What a beautiful drive, we took lots of pics, and finally found a motel and had a dinner. I am engorging myself on Seafood; RazorBack Clams, Fish and Chips, Steamer Clams, etc. We were able to get a LITTLE exercise by a 2 mile hike along (you guessed it) another Lewis and Clark path.
Now we are in Tillamook and plan to tour a cheese factory tomorrow and then head further south. It's only Monday (I think..).
