I laughed out loud at the fungus pic, only because my friend Annelies was quite fascinated by all the fungi in the rain forest and tried very hard to capture every different kind. It's such a beautiful area. The Oregon coast is something everyone should experience during their lifetime, dampness and all. The idea of camping in a spot like that is enough to make me want to go buy a tent. Hubby could just commute back and forth in from the nearest motel. LOL.<br /><br />The pics are stunning, really. Good job.

Great writeup, Brandy. The peninsula area is mighty beautiful. No camping for us, but we had stayed at Kalaloch Lodge back in June 2007. Oh my, that is a long time ago already, but my memories about this place are pretty lively, thanks to your posting. I never get enough of these pictures. One fine day I will find myself standing there on the edge of the wet coast, preferably close to a bike ;-)<br />It is difficult to pic a favourite photo, but I'll go with the Ruby beach one and your snapshot of Brad in front of that tree trunk.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-44762980463019444612015-05-27T09:09:54.572-07:002015-05-27T09:09:54.572-07:00Great writeup and not long at all!

We've also peeled bananas and roasted chunks like they were marshmallows and ate them plain. The heat from the fire caramelizes the banana sugars a bit. Tasty, but they can fall off your roasted fork.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-5980747404813087822015-05-27T05:55:18.957-07:002015-05-27T05:55:18.957-07:00The size of some of the driftwood was really surpr...The size of some of the driftwood was really surprising and how many roots were attached too.

I find it astonishing how much time can be spent doing absolutely nothing at all. And you do it so elegantly being rugged and everything. I need minimum 80 degrees and a beach chair in the water under a blazing sun. All this mist and stuff chills me to read about it.
