Moolack to Astoria on day 3

Moolack Shores Lodge in the morning fog. What a great spot for a vacation. It's on the beach north of Newport and all the rooms have themes. We were in the Viking room and agree with the comment found in the guest book. We gathered in the Oregon room for 'party time' and OOOed & AWEed as we walked through each of the other guest rooms: Movies, Racers, Titanic, Cars, Cowboy, Airplanes, etc.






Some of us missed dinner last night opting for wine & cheese, chips, salami, cookies and fudge. Sometimes were not quite gormands but we made up for it this morning a short drive north on Hwy 101 in Depot Bay. We had a really hardy breakfast at the Sea Hag as evidenced the photo of full bellys .








We have been pretty scattered out, running with different people or going on our own throughout the day. Here is your MAFCA Era Fashion Chair, Judy Lewis at a antiques/junk barn stop south of Cloverdale.



We stopped at the Tillamook Air Museum and enjoyed the great exibits including this Mini-Guppy cargo plane. Checking out the cockpit I noticed a few more controls to learn than our Model A's. Wonder if they double clutch that big boy?















Sunshine finally after fog and cold all morning. The short lived clearing exposed the beautiful coastline south of Cannon Beach before going back to overcast skies the rest of the way to Astoria.


After our nightly social we overwhelmed Clemente's Restaurant in Astoria on a Tuesday night with a skeleton crew on duty. The wait is always extended when a large group comes on short notice, but it was a fun evening and the food and presentation was worth waiting for. Everyone's looking forward to relaxing at Lake Quinault Lodge in the Olympia Rain Forest tomorrow for 2 nights.
