Florence, OR

After nursing a really sore knee for 5 or 6 days we are on the road again. After walking to the Cape Mears Light House on Fri. my right knee became extremely week and sore. Tues I went to the walk in clinic and on Wed. I received a shot of cortisone. Thur. we went to Astoria and walked through the cannery at pier 39 and ate lunch. On the return drive to the motor home we stopped at an antique store and a blown glass shop that Nancy had been wanting to go to. This morning we headed south on US 101 past the rocky coast north of Tillamook and then through the mountain meadows to the south that were full of dairies. From there on we had many beautiful views of the coast with the surf and waves splashing onto the rocky shores.
I believe the surf was much more violent and the waves much higher today than we had seen them earlier this week. Passing on through the towns of Newport, Yachats, Waldport and many other small coastal towns we were in and out of the coastal mountains and rocky shores. What a beautiful drive this was. Tomorrow we plan to drive back north in the car so that we can enjoy some of these areas and light houses.

This looks really beautiful! Hope the cortisone will help your knee and you will be able to enjoy.
