Fork to Seaview, WA ....8/17/2019


August 17, 2019



We started out the morning with spectacularly dramatic coastal views that included dunes, lighthouses, sea lions, and huge waves. I might have mixed up some of the views along the way because after awhile all these gorgeous sites start looking similar and since my energy level was low, I kept napping...sad, so I missed some great shots...sorry!














Thought this old Lodge that we could have stayed at was pretty cool and the views were incredible even overcast.
If you have noticed I say that statement often, since with all the moisture up here it is often overcast and misty.





The Lodge's views




Given the spotty cell reception up here, I'm guessing these are still in service







Mike took these walking back into the rain forest a little ways








Yep, he started to see some of the big redwoods


Our cute little town for the night which was right next to Long Beach, WA


We love this older hotels because they are so charming, old and moldy but still going...


Our room had a roof walk out to give us more air since few of the hotels on this Northern Coast have AC




Aren't these stained glass windows incredible?


Since there wasn't much cell or TV reception, they had lots of games to amuse their clients

We have hardly turned on the TV this trip, but Mike turns it to sports and finds the Cincinnati, OH, ATP Tennis in that we had attended for years.


The Shelbourne's darling bar and our lovely bartenders/receptionists...the staff was over the top charming

The flowering bushes love it up here...This Cafe should be a Five Star! WOW!


We should have kept count of all the local IPA's Mike tried





This cafe and waitstaff were so darling !!!


The most incredibly delicious butternut squash ravioli that I have ever tasted!!!


I had to post this menu for my foodie kids, so they might try to duplicate it???


Mike loved his oysters as well!!


Once Mike and I left the ship we rarely split dessert; but we decided this cafe we had to make an exception


Divinely Delicious!!!
