Cannon Cove to Florence

Breakfast… Fruit on yoghurt with granola and honey, Quinoa and a perfect sausage with an oven baked, rolled omelet egg thing stuffed with garlic, sautéed mushrooms and spinach with roasted tomato halves. Then we had blackberry sorbet garnished with fresh strawberries and mint leaf. Coffee, orange juice, water and then trombone practice. We have a new bike to build! A front-wheel-drive, tilt-steering, single-speed. Dude, we can build this! Octopus tree, Sitka Spruce Meares Lighthouse. In 2010 three boys decided to have target practice on the lens…15 direct hits. A month later, after some bragging, they were arrested and sentenced; $100,000 fine, three years of serving jail time during their Christmas vacation and 500 hours of community service each. The $100,000 did not cover the cost of even one lens. Their sentences have been fulfilled but as one stands next to the damaged lenses…it is just a sad event.
