TWO MOUNTAINS

Vacation number two is now in full force. Everyone is sleeping late, and they aren't even making any plans for activities for the day. I'm the only one that keeps things on schedule. Up early, eat breakfast, go for a walk, then go back to sleep. They just seem to be lazy now, sitting around until the spirit moves them.

At just about noon the humans decided to explore the area. First, they drove north to the Myrtle Wood Factory to look at the trinkets for sale. No interest there, so then it was back to Coos Bay to check out the Coos Bay History Museum. 

It's a beautiful new modern museum with lots of interesting exhibits on the history of Coos Bay. Highlights were on the logging, fishing and cranberry industries of this area of Oregon. Lots of antique tools and hardware nicely displayed. There were copies of newspaper articles which helped to get a better understanding of the life of the people around the Bay area.

Then it was time for Fish and Chips! As they exited the museum the air smelled like lunch, so they scoped out the best place to stop and enjoy the local specialty. 

Okay, so what about the two mountains? The top picture is the mountain of sawdust from the mill next to our RV Park. The picture was taken about six blocks away and the sawdust is so high you can't even see the casino and RV Park. The bottom mountain picture is the twenty-foot-high pile of oyster shells at the oyster farm they visited this afternoon. They purchased lots of oysters for Warren to grill tonight.

I hope tomorrow will be more exciting, we are traveling up the coast to a resort in Newport.
