We're now back from a short vacation in Oregon over the past week to attend Nicolas and Miguel's baptisms. Found a few caches there, of course (grouped by city):

Medford:
The Concrete Wave
Watch your Step
South of the Border
Rooster's Restaurant
Names, Names, Names
A Place of Remeberance [sic]

Sweethome:
"Not Your Ordinary Birdhouse"
A Mothers Day Cache (FTF!)
Twin bridges big and small
North Side Nymph
A Pleasant View Two
Berry Hill cache
GlenMart's Sticky Cache

Newport:
no name cache
I'm Stumped
Yaquina
Jumpoff Zzzoe!!!

and also retrieved the 'World Star 2' travel bug, which hasn't yet seen Reno but shortly will.

We ate a wonderful breakfast in Medford at Rooster's Restaurant - missed the to-die-for cinnamon rolls, but had some wonderful coffee cake.

We also had fun on the Oregon coast. We visited Agate Beach with it's prophylactic jellyfish, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, and ate some wonderful nearly world famous clam chowder at Mo's Annex.

Caching in Oregon is really different than caching in Nevada: everything is wet, surrounded by slugs, underneath wild blackberry bushes (with thorns), and much more difficult than indicated. Every cache we tried was only a one-star in difficulty, but yet we couldn't find many of them. =(

Lots of the Erkez.B virus making it's rounds. Watched "Scooby-Doo! Meets the Boo Brothers" on VHS. Finished Terry Brooks' "High Druid of Shannara: Jarka Ruus" on audiobook. Watched "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" at the Century Park Lane theater.
