This page has the distinction of being the oldest page on my website. The Internet went public in 1995, generally, and I jumped on the band wagon right from the start... I had 3 or 4 pages back then, and I'd update them by replacing their content with stuff that was current. Then, in 1996, I started a new "Pictures" section and put up my first "Picture Page", which would stay a part of my website. It took FOREVER to load! But I thought it was pretty cool, so I left it, and added more... and now, a dozen years later or so, my site has over 5,000 pages, and it grows at a rate of more than 500 a year! The only changes I've made to this page is to set it to use the header includes for navigation - that wasn't available back then. :) I even left the word "trespassing" misspelled; I used notepad to make the page, and it didn't have spell check! A lot has changed since those days, that's for sure! |

Oregon Coast I like to drive.. one of my favorite things to do, actually, is to drive to places I haven't been in a while. A great drive is a trip down the Oregon Coast... the scenery is incredible, and stopping in the smaller towns along the way, and learning the history of the places along the coast is a great way to spend some time off...
The cliffs rise up right from the beaches for most of the Oregon coastline... The shoreline has been declared "public" in Oregon, and you can go pretty much wherever you can get to without tresspassing.
There's just something about the ocean that makes you want to go back as soon as you leave it...
The cliffs provide excellent opportunities for overlooks that have spectacular views!
Hows this for driftwood?! Rivers carry logging debris down to the ocean, and it falls back onto the beaches in some areas near the mouths.
The rocky shoreline shows how the ocean is slowly wearing away the land in the never-ending cycle of creation and destruction.
Highway 101 snakes along some of the most picturesque scenery that I've seen.
The sounds of the waves on the rocks is
very mesmerizing, especially when the sun starts to set...
