Road Trip
So, I have some random bits from Sunday and Monday that I took down while we drove (not much happened Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, really)
So, Clay and I are on the road and we decided to keep a listing of the interesting names we’ve encountered, especially since Lincoln City. I think it just got weirder there or something. In the words of Clay, “Lincoln City is a strange place.”
Shops & Restaurants:
The Crystal Wizard Gallery
Lil’ Sambo (A Little Black Sambo-themed restaurant)
The Christmas Cottage
Gracie’s Sea Hag
Spouting Horn
Rent-a-Wife
Third Moon Rising
On Adopt-A-Highway signs:
Christian Surfers of Oregon
Rent-a-Hubby (note the opposing views on the sexes)
Angleder Plots Surfrider Foundation
Attractions:
The Octopus Tree (we did not visit)
Cape Foulweather (aptly named)
The Devil’s Punchbowl
Other:
Newport equals “Coast Guard City USA”
Highlights of the Day:
* Visiting the Tillamook Cheese Factory
* Getting my feet wet in the Pacific in Oceanside
* The relative lack of rain
* Ogling the weirdness of Lincoln City
More weird names abound as we continue our trip down the Oregon Coast. I think everything just gets weirder once you get past Lincoln City, I really do.
Shops & Restaurants:
Smoothboar & Boar's Nest
Jim's Gems and Jams
Light Rain Gallery
The Crazy Norwegian's Fish & Chips
Sherrif John's Classic Cars
The Wacky Tobbaconist
Adopt-A-Highway Signs:
Unity of Bandon
Ally to Adversary
Love Monkeys of Port Orford
Ophir Grange 767
Other:
Sixes Grange
Lois Lane
County Shop Road
Dr. Kilmer's Swamproot Kidney, Liver, and Bladder Cure-all
Bruces Bones Creek
Highlights of the Day:
* Driving the worst road. Ever.
* Exploring Humboldt State College
Here's the best part: we recorded a video of some of our adventures. It runs about 35 minutes long; it's poorly made; it has crappy 'editing' decisions and even worse transitions! It should be a blast!
