Default A break in the rain...pix on the coast

...So Marina and I decided to take a little drive. We left Newport and drove south past Yachats, Florence, and Reedsport. Bought some wine at a little shop we like in Winchester Bay, took a few photos, and came home. Total miles about 180. Nice sunshine, but unfortunately the temps were barely 40f, so the top stayed up!

Enjoy!

So true. The entire Oregon Coast is breathtaking and needs to be on everyone's bucket list. For an outstanding drive, start (or end up) in Washington this side of Port Angeles at the start of 101, do Lake Crescent (VERY curvy), down through Oregon, and then California to LA. Over 1,000 miles of one of the most spectacular roads (1 and 101) in America.

And if you wind up at the North end of this route, PM me and we'll put you up. Plenty of room, but the Corvette will have to stay outside. Sorry. Scarlett Rose would be so jealous.

Thanks for the invite, I'm sure we'll take you up on it. We've done a lot of touring by motorcycle in Washington, but none in the Corvette!

Wow, It's tough to be you living close to all that beautiful scenery. Life is good, and it's better with a Corvette.
