The past two days I've been on the road from the Bay Area up to Portland. These 723 miles are really filled with "curiosities". Some I don't even have photos of as I was making good time up the coast. One of my favorites though is from almost fifty years ago in Florence, Oregon:
"Exploding Whale Beach" . There is even a song about it,
check it out. But maybe before the song, watch
the actual archival video news broadcast to understand it.
The other curiosities along the way shown below ~ the fog is the perfect weather to profile such things and plenty of fog there was all the way up the coast.

| at the famous Leggett Chandelier Tree |
 |
| Memorial Lighthouse at Trinidad Bay ~ a monument dedicated to those lost at sea |
 |
| Crescent City coastline with an eerie glow due to fires in Brookings, Oregon |
 |
| goats at the Airbnb.com stay Tuesday night ~ such playful and affectionate animals |
 |
| the cows thought perhaps I was the farmer and were overly enthused when I stopped |
 |
| fog is so mysterious and has an ongoing dance with the sun |
 |
| this building in Alsea Oregon captured my attention |
 |
| kind of a portal to another dimension and I'm always curious about the history of what went on in buildings like this |
 |
| fog and more fog ~ very dense from Crescent City all the way up to Cape Sebastian |
 |
| Two days of travel / overnight in Crescent City (about half way) |
