POST 1231; FEBRUARY 03, 2014, LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

Two days ago I stopped at a motel in PACIFIC CITY, looking for a place to park overnight...and reserve a room for Sunday (last night) night.  Met by a delightful young lady, RACHEL, she listened to my intro...then replied that she knew me...and just happened to have a room for both nights...provided I accepted both nights at no charge.  Flabbergasted, I protested - slightly - but when RACHEL gave a welcome hug, my defenses melted.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two gifted nights...and very much enjoyed the Super Bowl on the TV.

Please say HELLO to RACHEL.  How does one thank such a lady...a single mother to two young boys...and giving free rooms to one such as me? !

"Thank you" just does not seem appropriate.  My fantasy worked a bit overtime...a meaningful "goodby" hug was all I dared.

Yes, I need a haircut.  RACHEL is holding the camera...she is also a professional photographer.

Please say HELLO to RACHELLE MORRISON, Assistant Manager of the PACIFIC CITY Waterfront Restaurant where JOHN and I enjoyed dinner together Saturday evening.

Received your message today (Monday)...keep in touch, please.

Many of the photographs following were taken Saturday, Sunday, and this morning in and on roadways into and out of PACIFIC CITY.

Roots of a rather large tree...undercut by the road builders...a good rain or mild earthquake could send this tree toppling into the roadway.

I am fortunate to receive invitation from LINCOLN CITY "SAFEWAY" Supermarket to create today's blog in their Coffee Shop area...AND also park overnight.  Plan to remain two nights walking both North and South on US 101, before moving on further South.

p.s.:  It was SNOWING when I pulled into SAFEWAY this afternoon...NO, did not stick !
