The Everything Drawer - Everyone has one, right? (post anything - within the rules)

Popping in from Alaska - so glad we are doing extended time here. The natural beauty, wildlife and cold, clean air are a tonic for the soul.

Gorgeous.
Interestingly, during our recent vacation in PacNorWest, people in Oregon and British Columbia said “rhododendrum.”
 
A rose by any other name🌹 I was stationed in Oregon for a while. The northwest is some beautiful country.
 
Been to the coast, beautiful. Idaho would be my choice though. This is where I was in Oregon.

My DD is in Newport OR right now at Yaquina Bay Station, doing things with people. I understand that it's beautiful and that she's to celebrate by getting a face full of nasty spray some time next week. Kids these days, I tell you...

Look familiar? South of Astoria. Headed to Tillamook Dairy for cheese and ice cream!
Lovely. We miss Tillamook. There was some arrangement of either a delivery or a ride out to Tillamook to ensure enough ice cream for the whole crew for a patrol. The kids and I would make a fun day trip to Tillamook and we all enjoyed our ice cream "together". I was so happy to see the Tillamook ice cream in my local grocery store in MD. Now, if they would only sell their yogurt too. I've been enjoying your photos from your trip.
 
No, one of the cutters, just across the way.

Although we took the kids over the bridge and explored that area with some hikes during covid.
 
Surf Training?
Whee! I would love that. I don’t care for camping and dirt, but cold ocean water, crazy waves, salt-encrusted eyelashes, adrenaline, appropriate safety attire and gear, sign me up.
 
I may have made Oregon look a little bleak. Those pictures were of the area east toward Boise. These are toward the west and Bend toward Portland.

What about Surigao Strait in WWII? If memory serves that was part of the large conflict called the Battle of Leyte Gulf and was the last time battleships engaged battleships.
