Yesterday we visited the area around Charleston, OR. This is a real working fishing village. Lots of boats and lots of hardworking fishermen. Here are just a few shots of the area.
Basdendorf Beach. There is a county park there with RV sites but it is not near as nice a campground as Sunset Bay…but the view is killer!!
Charleston Marina
This boat was in the shipyard – Russ liked the name!! His kind of boat.
This is The Hollering Place Wayside. It was so named because the native tribes that settled the area, would yell across the water to those on the sandspit. Now it is a historical marker.
So many more pictures and adventures to share but some will undoubtedly wait until we get back home. Just one more picture that Russ took…
…and what I posted on Face Book about this picture….
That Russ is such a romantic. I hope Paul picks up on his good manners and very loving comment. Good job, Russ!
ReplyDeleteGreat coastal pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe're so missing the Oregon coast (sniff-sniff).
ReplyDeleteThat Russ is a keeper! :c)
What a sweet thing to say. I think Russ loves you:-) Makes me smile just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteWe all tend to be our own worst critics. When you have gone through what you have together Russ is very much correct. If you feel it's important that you change your appearance Russ will support you no matter because of his love for you. Be Safe and Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
Russ is a nifty guy, and I agree with him.
ReplyDeleteGreat answer, Russ - got any more of those gems stored away to help us old husbands out?
ReplyDeleteYour photo of Basdendorf Beach is awesome.
That was the perfect answer, Russ! Glad you two are having fun at the coast!
ReplyDeleteAww, so sweet. Also great photos.
ReplyDeleteAw, how nice to be perceived like that!!! I know, been reading your blog and figured we were in your area for awhile there... I did not get near enough time on the beach and will need to go back ;0
ReplyDeleteRuss is indeed a keeper..he could teach a few of the husbands out there in blogville a thing or two!!!
ReplyDeleteRuss is Mr. Romantic! Beautiful photos. I'd love to visit that area someday!

He made me cry. That is kind of what Jim says when I tell him how old and fat and ugly I feel. Isn't it wonderful to have found such fantastic men? Glad you're having too much fun to blog. You can always blog when you get home and are just sitting around. Go out and party hardy.
ReplyDeleteRuss should be in the movies. How romantic. You are one lucky gal, Donna, and he is one lucky guy.
ReplyDeletePictures are gorgeous, as always. I love walking along a dock and looking at names of boats--people are so clever! I love "Miss Conduct". I could never think of something like that.
I don't know how I missed Charleston…all the times I've been on the coast, but I did! There just isn't an inch on the Oregon Coast that isn't beautiful!
Yup - He's a keeper!
ReplyDeleteAwww. so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet couple. Glad to hear you are having a good time exploring the area.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat the Oregon coast for beauty! And I think both of you are very lucky to have found each other so many years ago. You're an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBob here, I am so stealing that :-)
