Florence, Oregon

We had an old time photo taken today and chose to be gangsters. Kim looks the part, huh?
Kim and I at the beach with some pretty aggressive waves.
This is the view out our living room window. We have a beautiful location.
Here's another living room view. You can see the Jetty in the background. It goes clear to the right side of the pic in the distance.
Here's some more wild waves at the beach.


Today we went to Florence and shopped and had a good time. There are a lot of dunes around here. There are some where ATV’s and dune buggies are allowed and it looks like a pretty popular thing. Just down the road from our RV Park there are jetties. These are embankments often made up of huge rocks that extend out into the ocean to stop the waves from crashing into the bays. Sometimes they extend a mile or more. Some of the rocks weigh thousands of pounds. When you see the punishment the waves dole out, it is easy to see why the rocks need to be so big. Even so, they sometimes need to repair the jetties. It is calling for 100% chance of rain tomorrow. I have some chores to do around home and will probably read. We will probably go out exploring the towns even if it rains.
