Approaching the Oregon/California border....I was wondering if this place would be open, what with the corona virus closures. But...it was..oh yayayayayayay...
On to Brookings for the next couple days.
Sharon did a cauliflower in the frypan...man that is sure good. Chop up a head, toss in some good olive oil...spices maybe....and just let it fry up. We got this from our Israeli pals, although they roasted it...frying is quicker.
The cororna virus news is beginning to take it's toll on us. We have been very careful about our exposures and have really stayed away from people.
We used the Rest Area just west of Brookings for two nights. They even have a Sani-Dump station there...huh....good for them.
Signs of the closures. It appeared that we were just ahead of the crews that were closing view points and campgrounds. Was very odd.....
We stopped in Depot Bay. I so wanted to get a shot of USCH boat leaving Depot Bay harbour, but with the closures and the whole state getting closed down...we carried on. Next tim3e, I will try to time our arrival for an early morning so I can get crews heading out.
We rolled up the entire state or Oregon...border to border,...fuk, that was a long drive. I used to drive a bus for a living, so long days behind the wheel were the norm...but that was some time ago...and I have finally learned to not be in a push.
Crossing the Columbia River bridge at Astoria...hell of a long span. I had Sharon grab a pic with my camera...shooting past my chest....
From our overnight spot...about a minute east of the bridge exit....
And they closed THAT in the morning, right after we left. I think that there is going to be some serious trouble if the governments...all of them...do not make some kind of provision for people that don't have a traditional stick and brick home. In the US..how many people live in their RV's...and their cars and campers and bread trucks. Closing so many places to them...where will they go? Into towns and cities...and towns and cities don't want them there. And they don't want to be there either.....trouble.
We drove east up the Washington side of the Columbia..heading for Longview and the I-5. Stopped in Cathlamet for a look-see.
