Oh my goodness, did I need an Oregon Coast fix! We haven't been down since Corgi Beach Day, and then we only hung out around Astoria and Cannon Beach. My love is to keep heading south and pay my respects to all the little towns along the way to Newport. Sweet Newport.
Samsonite and I snuck away after she got out of the classroom on Friday and really made the most of the weekend. We rolled into Newport in the dark, got up early on Saturday, boxed and planted until dark Saturday evening, then up again on Sunday morning to meander home, leaving boxing love in our wake. It was fantastic!
Since we have snagged so many of the boxes on the coast, there were few to find. After bombing out on several, we did finally hit pay dirt - I ended up with five new stamps in my log. They are awesome, too! There is a special kind of appreciation for finding the box after you have struck out multiple times. We eventually had to head for home after grabbing the last drive-by in the dark. I am never, NEVER sorry to have spent time on the Oregon Coast.
I had eleven new planted boxes to list when I got home. Pretty exciting! I have been kind of on a planting kick, what with the RD TRP Series and now the Pocket Treasures - those little stamps are a blast to carve and hide! I do hope seekers have as much fun finding as I did hiding!
I would definitely say the weather was unpredictable - one minute it was windy and foggy (spooky!) and the next it was bright, warm sunshine. It kept things interesting and also allowed for some great photo opportunities.
