it’s swiss!!

the last 2 days were absolutely stunning! with only a handful of things that we really wanted to see on the oregon coast, we to decided to book it down highway 1 and spend some more time in san francisco!

first thing on the docket was to check out this really cool shipwreck. truth be told, i have no idea which of the oregon shipwrecks it was. if one of you wikipedia buffs want to figure it out, i’m sure that someone would be glad that you did. ;)



you can still see the skeletal outline of the entire ship. it was a bit creepy.



traveling through some farm country and lovin’ me some big empty silo action.



yes, that’s a 2!



if you’re traveling on the 1, let me give you a friendly piece of advice. they take the speed limit vary seriously. because towns just magically appear every 20 miles, the speed limit will drop by 30 mph without you realizing it, and they’re quick to enforce it. as we noted before, people from oregon are some of the nicest we’ve meet. now, nellie’s has charmed her way out of a number of tickets but blowin’ through a 35 zone at 65 requires a lot more than good looks and quick wit. ( of which she undoubtedly has both ;) ).



the next day we stopped by to see paul bunion and his magical blue ox. this was a ‘mind-blowing’ experience…



of course. what babe lacked in brain, he made up elsewhere.



most thrilling $4 bucks i ever spent. i’m tempted to call six flags and tell them they wasted their money.



arcata is one of those places i’ll probably drive on by next time i’m really desperate for a tank of gas.



yesterday we spent 11+ hours in the car. i’m not excited to do that again but the scenery was well worth it!
