Day 3: Saturday, March 19, 2011
Well, after a good nights rest, we loaded up the car and went to the doggy bakery in Gold Beach. Yes, Max is way too spoiled, because we didn't even go to the bakery for ourselves. Really cute pet shop where we got into a conversation with the owner, who said he has caught 45 lb salmon in the Rogue River! We have to come back to fish!
After filling up on gas (which we couldn't pump ourselves, so weird Oregon) we hit the road and headed north on the 101. Next town we hit was Coo's Bay. It's so pretty up there with lots of saw mills, so it smells so awesome.
After Coo's Bay we hit up Reedsport so Jeremy could ride the skatepark there, which I have to say is pretty gnarly. I filmed a trick of him doing what he does, after I took a good swing on the playground. Don't judge me! Swinging on epic swingsets is on my top ten list of things I like to do! But after half an hour we hit the road again.
More driving, then more driving. There were a ton of scenic lakes, rivers and bridges. It's so pretty up here, I'm falling in love with it! We stopped at a lighthouse next to Sea Lion Cave (supposedly the largest seacave in the world!) and it was so picturesque.
We decided to stop at a beach in Yachats and went down to look at the tide pools. The sun was out and there were so many beautiful things to see, that I got distracted, slipped and ended up falling on my butt so hard! I cut my hand open and I think my spine almost came out from the top of my head. I have a gnarly bruise on my butt (sorry, can't take photos!) and my spine hurts all the way up to my head. Lame! But luckily my camera survived the fall and I just have to carry on.
We then went to Newport, home of the Rogue Brewery and got to take a look around. They didn't allow dogs (even though the website says it does!) so we resorted to just buying beers and taking off. I really liked Newport because it's also a college town, so it had a really nice energy to it.
