When I said I was knitting away on my second Luminos Tee, I really was knitting, away. I took a trip to the Oregon Coast with my friend Vickie. She’s a forever friend; we went to University of Oregon, way back when. She’s the source of my blueberry cobbler recipe!
We went to Yachats, which is near Cape Perpetua. Yachats has a lot of rocky shoreline which is great for rock hopping and tidepooling.
Wall of marine life: mussels, barnacles, starfish, anemones, dogwinkles, crabs
the starfish are back!
I’m glad to see the starfish are recovering; there were several years of starfish wasting disease where their numbers were down.
I love tidepooling.
We went to the visitors center at Cape Perpetua. I was last here in 2022.
This shelter was built by the CCC in the 1930s. Workers (young men who needed jobs during the Depression) earned $30/month. They kept $5, and $25 went home to the family.
It was a quick and efficient getaway! I’m planning one more before the summer is over; I like short trips. Do you have summer travel plans?
