8/9 - Lincoln City/Newport/Corvallis/Salem

Today was a little more laid back than our last few days. We took our time getting up and around this morning as some of us were up a bit past their bedtimes last night. We left the hotel around 11 and looked for the Dutch Bros. which I swore to be in Lincoln City, apparently I lied. We stopped in Otter Creek to see the Devils Punchbowl, the tide was pretty low though so there wasn't really a whole lot going on there, still pretty cool though.


We also saw some very bold and courageous squirrels who were under the impression that I was going to feed them. We got our coffee fix at a little shop there as well as picking up some Zots so it was definitely worth the stop.

Then we stopped briefly at the Yaquina lighthouse on our way to Newport. We got to Newport and went immediately to the Chowder Bowl where we got more than our fill. Dan got a salad that I'm pretty sure would've filled the Devil's punch bowl to the brim, and we each got a bowl of chowder along with our regular meal. I ended up with a bowl and a half because I realized the original cup I got just wasn't going to cut it. The drive to Corvallis from there was fairly uneventful as most of us couldn't even move or speak after eating that much. In Corvallis we saw Reser Stadium, the baseball stadium, some of the town, and Casey and Riley's house. We picked up Local Boys and $100 worth of jerkey on our way out of town. Spent a few hours at Aunt Pegs with Casey, Riley, and B-Winks, ate the food and then left and came to our hotel in Salem.

On the agenda for tomorrow is just some more sight-seeing and probably a little bit of Portland and then back to Salem for the night.
