What We've done in Oregon so far.

Ok so this may be kinda long, lots of pics, but I thought I would share with everyone some of the fun things we have done since we have been living here. (I can only put stuff on since we got our digital camera sorry) So sit back and check it out!!!

Silver Falls State Park: This State Park was absolutely beautiful. This is where they filmed Last of the Mohicans. It was a 7 mile hike and there was tons of water falls. We only walked 5 miles and it took us most of the day.



Oregon is so mossy. It grows everywhere. On trees, on roofs, where ever. Kinda Creepy!


This was the view to the park I thought it was pretty.


This was the main waterfall. You can walk behind it.



more falls




Lincoln City & the Sea Lion Caves: The sea lion cave was so cool. You take an elevator clear down to the bottom of a cave and you look at hundreds of sea lions. It was interesting but it stunk.


Ryan at beach in front of caves. So pretty.




Sea lions hangin out on all the rocks. The rocks were so steep it seriously looked like it would hurt to get on them.




Light house outside of the calves. There are fun lighthouses like this all over the coast.





Ryan's Fishing: Ryan loves to fish here in Oregon. Actually he would be happy as a camper if he went fishing every single day. We have tons more pics of fish I'll have to have him download them tomorrow. But here is one fish he caught, the other pics are of his friend DJ (Fishing buddy) and some of the rivers he goes on.




Wilson River in Tillamook: Very fun there, but rains all the time!




Sandy River: Only 1/2 hour from our house. (new fishing spot)



The Beach: We don't go to the beach to often it takes us about an hour and a half to get there, but it is really pretty!! We have gone crabbing in a bay that was fun (I have pics but they were on our old camera) we went to see fireworks there on our first 4th of July in Oregon and it was HORRIBLE! I was so excited thinking it would be romantic watching fireworks over the ocean, but it was nothing like that. It was caotic, sooooo smokey, and way to many people. Needless to say we didn't do that agian. But here are some pics of when its pretty. The second one is of a old ship wreck we found.





Once was the largest Sitka Spruce Tree: This tree was sooooo big and pretty, then one night we got a crazy wind storm (like 80-90 mph) and it broke in half. Ryan always goes fishing by it and we always used to stop and look at it on our way to the beach.






Aviation Museum: Ok so I really don't think Ryan wanted to go to this museum but he was nice enough to tell me I could go where ever I wanted so we went here. It was kinda cool because they had the Spruce Goose that Howard Huges made. It is huge!!!



My computer is really slow and im tired so I will have to continue this tomorrow. Stay tuned.......
