Day 306
Whale-watching
off the Oregon-coast
Ah!---That
wicked temptress…The Great Northwest!
If I am to be tempted? Oregon wins!
I
confess that I have never been bored
in some 7+ decades; people are bored, lonely, afraid.
In
that “choice” of spending
precious-sacred time, I just simply choose not to participate.
Should
one find it difficult to cultivate a positive habit, allow me to offer the
Oregon coast!
We
lived in the Willamette Valley, an equal distance east to mountain-snow and to
the west, the fantastic Oregon coast (50-minutes to each). We could day trip to
many venues offering beauty as we appreciated, and took advantage of, the
beautiful region. Even, on up to Seattle and onward through the San Jan Islands
and on to Victoria, British Columbia. Spectacular!
The
Cascade Mountains to the east sported snow on July 4th while the
Coast Mountains to the west ushered a vist of the great-blue Pacific Ocean. We
spent most of our leisure time on the coast; “Whale-watching” in the fall
months and “storm-watching” in winter-time. For our Z. Tyler, who was age 2 and
3 when we lived there, got a fantastic natural
education.
I
found nary a dull moment in all our adventures in the Great Northwest. Fabulous!
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Great Northwest
whale-watching” Memories!
