Friday, the last full day we had in Oregon, we drove down to Netarts Bay for a morning of crabbing. It turned out to be a lot of fun. We had a little seal friend who kept stealing our bait. We were warned that the red rock crabs were aggresive and Zach experienced that first hand when one pinched his finger!
Getting ready to drop the first trap.
On the far left is the head of our bait-stealing seal friend.
Don't know what this was about.
Red Rock Crab. Super aggressive.
The only two crabs we caught of keeping size. They ended up fighting and one ripped the other one's claw off.
The competition.
Don't worry. The crab got the last laugh. Zach was playing with the joint and it squirted goo onto his jacket!
Quiet contemplation on Cape Meares.
Octopus Tree.
Inside Cape Meares Lighthouse.
We rented bikes to cruise around Seaside.
Trying to ditch Zach. I'm not fast enough.
Lewis and Clark Saltworks. L and C would evaporate ocean water here to gather salt for preserving foods, etc.
