A coastal adventure.

Greetings Blog World.  Little Fox and Sandy here today.  We are taking advantage of our unseasonably warm weather this weekend and decided to head to the beach. 
Destination: Waldport.

Little Fox was telling me that many of these bridges up and down the Oregon Coast were designed by Conde McCullough .  
McCullough believed bridges could be built economically but still have beauty.  Most of the major bridges up and down HWY 101 in Oregon were designed by him.  Signatures of his work include: Art Deco obelisks, Gothic Spires etc.
The original Alsea Bay Bridge was decommissioned in 1991 after the new one was built however they kept the decorative pieces. 

Some of his more striking work include the Yaquina Bay Bridge.
Speaking of Yaquina Bay, it's an area of the beach with many commercial fisherpeople (is that correct)?
Anyway, Little Fox and I found this boat that was selling Tuna and Salmon straight from the boat.
Time to explore.

  1. Fresh tuna and fresh salmon? That must have gotten Sandy's attention pretty quick!
