oregon coast

it's been a few days since an update. i am near the beautiful oregon coast visiting a friend of mine, and dana is visiting with his friend mike in Bend. dana has a few climbing projects he wanted to stay and work on, and i was itching to get out of the "high desert" of oregon. so i've spend the last day or so woondering the coast and forests near the coast, which are amazing. i'll post some pictures to show the difference in geography. each are equally beautiful, but i was feeling drained in the dry atmosphere of smith rock. i am looking forward to going back, hopefully witnessing dana send a few of his projects, and then heading to the redwood national forest in california.
