7/22/08 - McMinnville, Oregon

We went back to Yaquina Head Lighthouse. This time there was no fog. The tide was down and we went to the tide pools again. We took a picture of an anemone eating a crab. We stopped at two brewpubs on the way to McMinnville -- McMenamins Lighthouse Brewery in Lincoln City and Pelican Brewery in Pacific City. We drove to our RV park in McMinnville and talked with Kim and Steve who were on the way from the Portland airport but had stopped off at a few wineries. We met them at Golden Valley Brewery and then went to their hotel for dinner. They were staying at McMenamins Hotel Oregon so we had more beer. This is a very neat old historic hotel that had been refurbished. Kim and Steve had a very comfy cozy room that was period decorated.
