We headed south for this little adventure (southwest, actually). The weather was perfect and we got to go crabbing…definitely not something I thought I would ever do and we stayed in a yurt, also something I have never done.
Since it was kind of a long drive, we made a pitstop at OSU and rode our bikes around the campus.
I really cool sculpture on OSU’s campus made out of willow.
The inside of Umpqua Lighthouse

These glass panels spin slowly around. They are so pretty, but you kind of get dizzy up there looking at them.
These two LOVE to dig in the sand.
S’mores…a must have when camping.
So, we went crabbing. It was awesome. We were way more successful than I thought we would be. It’s actually very easy. Just get some traps and some VERY stinky bait, set it all up, throw in the traps, wait about 15 minutes and VOILA…crabs!
Pulling in our haul…let me just say I was absolutely terrified the entire time that one of the boys was going to fall off the pier.
One of the funniest parts of the whole experience was Colm getting a crab stuck on one of his gloves. It pinched Colm through the glove, Colm freaked out and flung the poor thing clear across the pier.
Success!!!
Our yurt
We saw some elk on the way home.
