Trip to Oregon

S and I just returned from a rather harrowing trip to visit Dad in Oregon.  Her cooler containing all her food was dumped, apparently deliberately by TSA, on the trip out so we had to scout for things she could eat.  Then there was one annoyance after another that added to the stress of the trip.  And the weather was bad, but it did manage to clear for a bit on Sunday morning.  So we escaped for a quick trip to the coast.  We started at Yaquina Head and were surprised to discover it does not open until 10 AM on weekends; but earlier during the week, which doesn't make any sense.  Since we had to get back to check out of our hotel, we climbed over the barrier and took a quick walk toward the lighthouse and down to the rocky beach.  Then we headed south to Seal Rock which has no gate.  It was really neat and we wished we had more time to explore.
