2024 birthday adventuring trip day #8: manzanita

just some more cool things in manzanita & on manzanita beach.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #8: manzanita (& neakahnie-manzanita state park) (part 1 - landscape)

i wandered down the main commercial thoroughfare of manzanita, stopping in a couple shops; found more fun-covered journals. it started raining a bit; it wasn't falling hard & fast from the sky, but the wind has it hitting you hard & fast & in ~10 min., i was as soaked as i would be in a 30 min. dog walk. and there were still a couple of crazy fu***rs in the water, sans full body wet (or dry) suits. i was still drenched & cold when i parked next to neakahnie-manzanita state park, so the last pic is the only one you get of it (it's basically the same beach as manzanita beach, only with the added protection of being a state park).

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #8: elk meadows park (& nehalem bay state park) (part 2 - landscape)

pansies!

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #8: elk meadows park (& nehalem bay state park) (part 1 - portrait)

started on a trail in elk meadows that took me directly into the forested half of nehalem bay state park. came across what looked like a holly, not bush, tree, & then past more with holly berries. and those little yellow flowers on actual green bushes instead of the dead looking bushes i usually see them on.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: nehalem bay state park (part 2 - landscape)

the jetty trail splits the terrain from the crowded pine trees to the west & the whatever-they-are bush-tree things to the east. there are more sunset pics in this pack.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: nehalem bay state park (part 1 - portrait)

i took the jetty trail out to the near end of the jetty with a couple horse trails as a mini detour. which i probably shouldn't have done due to the time. but then, i wouldn't have found this perfect baby crab specimen! look at it! it's amazing! 'cause by the time i made it to the beach, i had less than an hour to traverse the 2 miles back to my car before dusk (when day use parking closes). this was no casual walk on the beach, i was hauling as much ass as i could - y'all, i even ran! i ran until two equestrians approached me asking to take their picture. at least i could still enjoy another gorgeous sunset for a few brief moments.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: wheeler

i stopped in wheeler to check out wheeler station antiques. there are some cool items in this shop, including this t-shirt, but mostly just what you'd expect to see in an "antiques & collectibles" shop. it isn't even the only one on this street (there are 3 right next to each other). the maze-like interior of the building is more interesting than the merch, though. heart of cartm had a lot of cool things, including new items made from old trash (they have a halter top dress made out of 2017 total eclipse glasses). across the street is their waterfront park & wildlife viewing area. the only wildlife are birds (birds are cool, but i can see all these birds in the portland area 🤷🏼‍♀️).

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: manhatten beach state recreation site

another adventure kitty! daddy carried kitty to the beach & kitty barely moved. i later saw kitty being carried again. i found - i think - a wolf eel carcass, which is kinda cool since i've only ever seen them in captivity. i also found a sea star that didn't look quite dead, so i threw it back in the water.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: more old timey trains

this refurbished caboose is in rockaway beach. every other time i've driven past here, there was a tiny train stopped just north of it on these tracks. clearly, one can purchase tickets to ride it as it is gone now & i briefly saw it heading back south as i was leaving my next adventuring location.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: garibaldi lumbermans & railroaders memorial park & museum (part 2 - landscape)

hopefully, these pics give you some idea of the scale.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: garibaldi lumbermans & railroaders memorial park & museum (part 1 - portrait)

not much to say about this open air museum. the old trains (a couple engines, a caboose, passenger cabins from different eras (one's windows are decorated with stained glass), etc.) are really cool. there's also some old buildings & equipment overgrown with blackberry bushes.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: garibaldi smokestack

the smokestack is kind of an icon for garibaldi (at least it is for me). the pic about its history from the museum was taken in landscape, so it's a bit truncated.

04/22/2024

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: garibaldi maritime museum (part 2 - portrait)

mostly some of the cool items they have on display, including an otter pelt under plexiglass & one you can touch - it's *very* soft! there's also the story behind the big "g" - did you know they have a big "g"? i didn't, but i'm also usually only looking out at the water of the old smokestack when i'm driving through. along with the story depicted on the korean screen along with the first panel.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #7: garibaldi maritime museum (part 1 - landscape)

this museum is mostly dedicated to garibaldi & captain robert gray. did you know there are trollers & trawlers? and i guys the difference is lines vs. nets? they even have a children's corner where kids can dress up & play with stuff. in their rentable activity space has a beautiful mother of pearl & alabaster on black lacquer screen that was gifted to lt. col. charles m. parkin, jr. by the people of pusan, korea for his help in their recovery after they were hit by a typhoon in 1959. it contains a poem about korean navel hero admiral yi (the next part will contain the details).

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #6: seaside brewing co.

i ended my day with dinner at the seaside brewing co. for the atmosphere. here's my caesar salad & grilled cheese (what do you expect, it's a brewery on the coast; it's not like they have many vegetarian options 😜), along with a home brewed root beer & my souvenir pint glass.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #6: painted rock beach

beautifully & crudely painted rocks here all in equal glory. a lot of r.i.p. memorial rocks, too (there's even one decorated in stickers). so, grab your paints, come on out, pick a rock, paint it to your hearts content, & leave it. or paint a rock at home, bring it out, & leave it.

this is where i decided to take in the sunset & found the perfect way to frame it. then got absorbed in posting my adventures to i.g., i missed taking pics of the actual setting. oh well, plenty more sunset opportunities to come.

2024 birthday adventuring trip day #6: bay city

going a bit out of order here. i had bay city on my "want to go" list & i'm pretty sure it was for this mural. i stopped here after kilchis. my babies were pooped & look! they're cuddling again! at my feet & they look like a yin yang ☯️ 😻

there's not much in bay city, but it would be a wonderful place to experience the sunset.
