Saturday we were at the Tillamook Community College all day for lectures and workshops on a variety of topics. Everything from Be a Paleobotanist to watching for Snowy Plovers. We learned about tidepools, identification protocols for stranded animals, understanding climate change, the future of the Northwest's shoreline, tunicates and other invasive species and more. Very interesting stuff.
That evening found our tired brains trying to debrief at a little eatery called Fat Dog's Pizza.....had a excellent calzone and went back to the motel to shower/swim and kick back. After we got home Mike discovered his vest was missing and altho that was expendable our camera was not. After checking at the pizza place they did have it and offered to send it to us. We were amazed that no one had picked up the camera and that the owner was willing to do that. Small towns usually equal good folks and thanks for making me more confident in the human race!
A sunny morning found us at Cape Lookout State Park where Curt Peterson took us on a great walk along various beaches to explore coastal geology. Once again great info and something to ponder.
Home on Sunday evening and unpacked....early bed after a very nice four day holiday at the coast.
