Oregon Coast Weekend!



This is what the Oregon Coast looks like in the summer! We sat on these rocks and watched surfers brave the cold waters for some waves. A truly amazing weekend full of the universe treating us right. We stopped to get gas and asked for $20 of fuel. In Oregon someone has to pump your gas for you, an attendant, you can't pump your own. This guy accidentally put in $35 worth of gas, realized his mistake and brought us $15 cash back. We thought it was pretty cool to get $15 of free gas, but it got better when I got home and the guy had only charged my card $1. So for $1 we got $35 of gas and $15 cash, not bad. We climbed some crazy sand dune, explored th coast, swam in a waterfall, and camped by this creek in total seclusion from people. The next day we went to this awesome beach party in a town called Netarts. It was a friend's 30th birthday, so Catherine and I made him an awesome fire on the beach. A little denatured alcohol, and the fire started right up! Sunset, fire on the beach, the Pacific, the dramatic Oregon coast, happy friends, the dogs, all the right fixins, and a perfect West Coast moment.
