This last weekend (1/23/09 - 1/25/09) my wife and I enjoyed another wonderful trip to the Oregon Coast. This time I had won a couple of nights at the Ashley Inn hotel, courtesy of KBZY radio station in Salem Oregon. Nothing is better that free nights at a nice place. And I planned it while CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revisited) http://www.creedence-revisited.com/was at the Casino. Now of all the concerts we have been able to see, over all the years, I would have to say that this was one of the best shows we have seen. High energy and just plain fun. Setting next to my bride of 32 years, I could remember times before we had met. And that was a while ago. But only the drummer (Doug "Cosmo" Clifford) and bass (Stu Cook) were original members of CCR. They put on a very good show.
Another thing that was great to do was when we found out from a local person, about one of the highest places in Lincoln City to view the ocean. I would tell you where this is but then everyone would know about it. I was told you could see the curvature of the earth from there. Next time I will bring a straight edge to check this out. Wilbur might not be able to drive to this place but close enough to walk to the top. I hope to get you a panorama picture from this place if it comes out so you can see the view.
