Sat June 19 - up late, first late rising in more than a week! A grey day again - which was to turn warm + partly sunny by 12. Did some laundry after a huge breakfast of smoked salmon, egg, rye toast, etc. A drive down south on 101, first stopping at Far West Rock Shop off Arch Cafe. Exchanged the 3 large + heavy Ore. thundereggs for gemstones (opales) for G. Then on to Falcon Pt. trail, thru dense woods (a rain forest) to Short Sand Beach, dark, beautiful. where ran a swift stream. A very light rain: ate lunch on the pebble beach. Looked for opales - but none. Back on the trail, back to car parked in deep shadows of towering trees. On thru many small towns - or awful rock shops, past Manzanita area of Neahkahine [[Neahkahnie]] [[strikethrough]] mts [[/strikethrough]] mountain (past Fred's place) thru Wheeler (dinner 2 nites ago-) that picturesque bay of Nehalem - all of this coast around Nehalem Bay reminding me of Hanalei in color + formation. To Tilamook - gasoline - busy ugly, bustling commercial form - then [[?]] back up north, stopping at Nehalem Beach for a walk on the dunes + sand - + a few agates - + a stop at Neahkahine [[Neahkahnie]] lookout for. a grand panorama, very thrilling, very steep, dark. Home to Cannon [[?]] Beach stopping in farm for fraeines [[best guess?]] + then supper on the patio in late sunlight, the ocean clear, the sky striped with sunset bands.
