Cape Perpetua

The kids at the Cape Perpetua overlook. A great place to sight see the coastline and to whale watch. Dan, Melissa, Emily and Patrick. Go Beav's. (We were really bummed about the outcome of the bowl game)
Dan took our picture from the kiosk overlook built by the Civilian Conservation Corps back in the day.

Since the tide was high we mostly looked for agates on the beaches. Here is a handful of some we found. A couple are not agates just pretty rocks. For those of you out there who don't know how to tell an agate from any other leaverite....just set the stone on the lighted end of a flashlight and if the stone lights up...it is an agate.
This is the proper technique/posture for hunting the elusive agate.
This is Melissa's favorite picture. The trees here are special, as they grow the center of the tree shifts so that more wood is placed on the supporting side to protect the tree from the strong coastal winds that blow year round. It gives the trees that leaned over look.
