Heading South

Our family is headed back to LA after a wonderful month on Bainbridge Island, where we are fixing up an old property of some small buildings in the Douglas fir. Midway through the stay it got even better. We ran a Bobcat over some of our property, ostensibly to clear an area for a septic system, but in the process knocked over the existing deer fence. Every morning for the last couple of weeks we had deer grazing within a few feet of our house, a beautiful sight, especially when you don’t have to worry about the garden, which is going to be destroyed during construction anyway.

We’re are taking 101 home and are now in Oregon, a place called Cape Kiwanda (Pacific City) that has the biggest dune this side of Cairo. Blogging will be low for the next few days. Pan-fried oysters, however, will be frequent.

(Excuse the bizarre spelling. Blogging on the run via a very weak Verizon signal.)

Pan-friend oysters

Fried as well, I hope.

Enjoy!

Enjoy the trip! The coast from Monterey north is one of my favorite areas in the US.

Amazing…to think you were within a block of the house here!

Sorry I missed you!

A “sceptic” system? Is that for people who don’t believe that bathrooms exist?
