The air was cold last night and the wind strong creating
a gentle rocking of the motor home, We grasped our teacups and I wrapped the
throw around me to relax for the evening.
We started our day cleaning and catching up on our
laundry, not our favorite part but it needs to be done. After lunch we walked on the beach. The beach is a place where you can relax, the
sound of the waves crashing against the rocks are soothing and the smell of the
air refreshing. Walking on the beach
gave us a great workout. This brought
back wonderful memories of the times we spent in Maine. We chuckled when we got
home both of us with rosy cheeks and feeling so lucky to be on this adventure.
We took the picture of the bridge from the beach. The
original 1936 bridge, which was designed by renowned engineer Conde McCullough,
and was one of 10 Oregon coast bridges he designed. It had to be demolished due
to years of irreversible corrosion brought on by the Pacific coastal
environment of rain, wind and salt. The bridge now serving Oregon Coast Highway
101 traffic replaced the original span in August 1991. Only the pylons, spires
and some railing incorporated into the Alsea Bay Bridge north wayside remain
from the old one.
Nice!
