It's supposed to be the storm of the century here on the Oregon Coast..

[koshergrl]

I am skeptical.

The state, just in case, has closed all the waysides because you know it's the government's job to protect us from our own stupidity by preventing our access to our own property.

But the wonderful thing about living here is that one isn't dependent upon government agent "permission" to access the haunts that people in my family have been accessing since the end of the 19th century.

So I'm headed out to see what's up.

Here are pics from the last couple of days. The big wave one is Cape Disappointment, that's north of here and not my stomping grounds. The surf is supposed to double that today. The other pics are from around Heceta Head, taken by a friend yesterday.

I have some of the river mouth taken two days ago.

ONLY the storm of the century?

I'm inland from you Koshergirl, but even here they are acting like this will surpass the Columbus Day storm.
So far so good though. Take care down there on the coast.

Just send us the moisture without the wind over here in Idaho.

 

[Borillar]

Take care. It's always fun to go storm watching on the Oregon coast.

 

[Borillar]

How are things on the coast? The wind is picking up here in Hillsburitto.

 

[koshergrl]

it's nothing here. A little blustery, a little wet but I've chosen to walk to work in worse. The surf is pretty agitated.

the brown at the end of the path is water, not sand.

We were going to go to Grants Pass this weekend for a High School band competition, but the district cancelled. From the looks of things, the "storm of the century" fears were greatly overblown.

Getting any good stuff from Japan?

So far so good here. Unless something changes here quickly, this is nothing more than just a garden variety rainy day in western Oregon.

Kelp and driftwood is all I saw..

The first three are...they aren't mine. We live in a gorgeous place..and the world is beautiful.. The guy who took the cape disappointment photo is from a pro, I don't know him but he posted it on an Oregon coast group site. The other two are from a lady who walks around our beautiful spots all day every day and takes pictures and shares them. She spends a lot of time at Cape Creek and around the lighthouse.
