4th of July!


Here we are after camping. It smelled of campfire out of the car and since we the only place available was a KOA we took advantage of their showers that morning! We are enjoying some cold Smores!



This is the back of Mike's head looking out over a cliff in a national park on the Oregon Coast. We were talking to a couple who tracks the birds here and they let us look through their telescope at a young Perigron Falcon sitting on a tree. As we were learning all about falcons the lady looked up and said "There is an eagle!" and just 30 feet above us flew a full sized bald eagle!! Happy Fourth of July to us! That was amazing! I had just barely put away my camera, otherwise I would show you all pictures!



This is in the same national park. One of the many Oregon Lighthouses, I guess they are famous for. It was neat to see inside. Also in this park was a tree called "Octopus Tree". It has 6 trunks that all jut out the base like octopus legs!



This is Mike after being attacked by the vicious-hand-eating emu. It likes the food, so it will get it however it pleases! I am feeding the pushy goats. They scare the sheep away, but they are fun because they will jump up or down from the fence at your command!
