We explored another road on the peninsula between King Slough and the Yaquina river. We came onto an area with a dock out into the slough and what looked like a defunct oyster farm.
A line of ‘grow out bags’ didn’t seem to have any oysters in them!
We continued on a faint path through a primordial fern forest.
The path petered out, so we bushwhacked through the ferns and emerged at Yakona Nature Preserve!
An exploratory trip along the Siletz river after a rainy spell gave us views of lots of beautiful waterfalls cascading down the forested slopes.
On a walk around the neighborhood:
Happy New Year!!!! Although the last 2 years seem to have made us crawl into a hole (or burrow into our couches at home) this year will start with more optimistic vibes!!
A nice cubbyhole to crawl into if need be!
Another watering hole, and an interesting reflection!
The reflection on the window makes it look like a ghost is sitting in the back seat of the Jeep outside! Why was he left behind?
