Lincoln City
We left very late for us – nearly 10am. Not much of a deal though as our next stop was only an hour up the road. Another RV park and fishing resort, this one about a mile up a river. We were the only rig in the last park. This one was full. Still quiet and peaceful right on the river. We drove several miles north to Lincoln City to check it out and get a few groceries. We stopped at a beach access in the middle of town.
Big sandy beach that is an excellent place to fly kites. It was pretty calm so not much kiting happening.
Farther south on the Oregon coast the big tourist craft is myrtle wood factories and stores. On the central coast the big artistic thing seems to be blown glass. There are three blown glass studios in Lincoln City. They all invite you to watch production. We have seen the process a number of times and I always enjoy watching. The creativity is fascinating. In a different time and place I think I would enjoy doing it. One of the studios here has a different twist on the artistic/tourism/sales thing. You can make your own blown glass piece (with considerable assistance). We watched a number of pieces be created and debated for quite a while before I decided I would like to try it and would probably not have the opportunity again. Hard to decide what to make. Colors and styles seemed endless even for simple project. It was fun to do and I can see enjoying doing for fun and creativity. Not for production. Go to Sue's photo album to see the whole process. She did a great job.
Weather has been improving all day. May do hike tomorrow
