Feudal Fisherman

Alright. Here at my Aunt Sue's casa in Salem, Or. Splendid. When we last left you, Kevin and I were hanging out with my brother Josh and his fam in Arcata. They made some excellent pork loin. Amazing. Back to the journey...

In the morning we were on to Coos Coos Bay, Or. about 220 miles out. Along the way... we saw some of the tallest redwoods in the world. Big deal. Later I skipped rocks all they way across a river. Impressed many onlooking children. Almost hit one. We went for a swim upriver of the poopy pants children wading across and later realized we were downriver. ?Como se dice Giardia?

In Coos Bay we found a local watering hole, the type where locals come in and get the same drink everyday and the bartender asks Kevin if he's not from around here. We met up with Uncle Nick and he took us around the area and eventually to Charleytown where his boathous on the water is. Nick is an all around great guy and if the sea wasnt so windy we would have taken his boat out and caught somethin delicous. At dinner that night the three of us salty seamen were having some beers when nick's ex wife, crazy aunt carol, showed up out of the blue. She started talking about family feud this, Mary Kay that, at which point Nick promptly fell asleep at the table leaving me and kevin to ignore this woman.

Anwyays we slept in a trailer, and woke up at 4 to go clamming like we ha planned the night before. All of us being a bit hungover, we decided clamming would have to wait. After a great breakfast with carol, we skadoodled.

On to Eugene.
