Our Secret Beach at Port Orford

As we were driving south of Port Orford on Wednesday, we saw a beach with tons of driftwood.

Ed discovered a narrow paved road -- that led to a small parking area -- that led to a path to the beach -- that had tons of driftwood and neat flat rocks.

Every "neat" piece of driftwood I found was rejected by you-know-who because it was too big or too heavy. I felt like Lucille Ball in that old movie, "The Long, Long Trailer" where she collected rocks everywhere they went and the extra weight created major problems.
During our search for that perfect piece of driftwood, we discovered all sorts of interesting "stuff" along the way.
Maybe we should have harvested these for a cheap seafood dinner!
The kelp and sea tubers were icky. They felt like rubber or plastic.


The rock formations are all so different and remarkable. The "grain" of this one must have taken thousands of years to form - there were so many layers and such an unusual angle.

The last picture of Ed framed in the fantastic driftwood simply screams to be framed. WHAT A SHOT OF SUCH A HANDSOME FELLOW.

I loved that part about all the good stuff you found being rejected by "you-know-who." The photos are wonderful! Looks like you had a really good time at this beach.
