Summer Vacation 2006: A Beautiful View (Part 1)

This storefront is typical of those found in "downtown" Seaside, touristy, but the real deal.


Looking at the highrises in the next two shots, you'd think that Seaside was a large city. Actual resident population: 5,900.



Explorers Lewis and Clark ended their journey west at Seaside. Below is a monument marking the "End Of The Trail".


Two not-so-exciting shots of the beach at Cannon Beach. I'm in dire need of a new digital camera, possibly an SLR, that has a decent zoom ratio. The big rock below, known as Haystack Rock, is purportedly the fourth largest monolith in the world, third being the zit currently gracing my upper left thigh.


Unlike Seaside, Cannon Beach presents a very clean and pretty face. The main drag is lined by little shops with flower pots. Below is a small path wending away from the street.


US 101 as it is through the heart of Lincoln City.


I still chuckle each time I look at this shot.


The beach near our hotel in Lincoln City.


Sister-in-law relaxing on the morning of our departure to Florence.


US 101. Fatal if you're crazy—note the cars hugging the hillside.
