Long awaited adventure

It’s been a long time since my last adventure luckily my roommates thought the same thing and decided to head to the beach today.  It’s supposed to be partly cloudy and partly sunny, we’ll see about that.   
Monkey decided to come along today, I am glad that she is always up for an adventure as well.  This bridge was beary scary to cross it moved a lot when my roommates walked across it. 
I asked for an adventure and it looks like I got one.  The trail is covered in greenery.  I can kind of see the trail but not really.  Luckily there were not many thorny branches to scrape up my fur. Hmm, this was supposed to be an easy hike….

It’s springtime at the coast the flowers are blooming and one of my personal favorites is in full bloom, that’s right Fox Glove is out.  I know it can be poisonous but I can’t help but love the flower just because of the name.         

The trees grow strange around here.
My roommates deduced that we hiked up into a cloud.  Monkey and I got wet (not pleased about that) but it was cool looking at the trees through the mist.  I wonder if we are going to see the beach from our viewpoint at the top of the mountain?
Ahhh, made it to the top.  What?  Where is the view?  Phoie, I guess we better sit down and have some lunch and maybe it will clear up so we can see the view.


This is about as clear as it got.  You can kind of see the beach if you look hard. 


A pleasant surprise on the mountain lots of wild flowers which I did not really know lived here at the beach.  That and the abundance of Fox Glove certainly makes up for the lack of view at the top of the mountain.


Coming down I convinced my roommates to walk us to the beach for one quick picture lucky for us they agreed….now if I could only convince them to stop and get some hot chocolate on the way home but I heard them saying there isn’t enough time because they have some gardening to do……

A busy day

I went for a hike along the Oregon coast yesterday.  It was sunny and felt like spring.  Unfortunately, our continued sunny weather has put Oregon into drought conditions, and there are wildfires burning along the coast.  I got this one good shot before there was too much haze from the smoke for good pictures. 


I met a lady as I was taking this picture who thought I was very cute and appeared well-traveled.  She seemed very smart to me!

After hiking and cleaning up a bit I met up with my friend monkey for some crepes and sangria. Yum!

Monkey had the sangria ready when I arrived. 


But there was work to do.  Monkey thought she would have a banana and Nutella crepe, but I thought chicken and mushrooms would be better.   First thing - sauté the mushrooms. 


And make the crepes

And finally get some of that sangria!   The glasses were a bit big for two little animals.  We had to work to get it.  


Monkey and I also met a new little bear at the party and we all enjoyed some chocolate for dessert.  


What good food!
