Ocean Beach, Mountain Air, and City Fun

People always ask "how can you stand Salem?" It's easy for me because I enjoy the fact that Salem is centrally located and any direction I choose to drive I will end up somewhere different in less than an hour.

My favorite in the Summer is the Coast. I get up early and head that direction, enjoy the solitude and scenery of the drive and before I know it I am smelling the fresh sea air and walking on the beach.
Sometimes I go in the early evening and it is still light out when I return. [The greatest feature of Summer.]

Another favorite is Silver Creek Falls. It doesn't take any time at all to get there.

Four times a month or more I drive to "Bridge Port" near Lake Oswego for shopping and dining; it is only 32 minutes away Monday thru Wed. Later in the week the traffic is heavier!

God bless,
