We left Minnesota for a month long trip to Oregon for the Monaco International Motorhome Rally in Coos Bay, OR and then on to the FMCA Rally in Redmond, OR. We left on the day that summer finally came to MN and spent the next four weeks in 66 degree high wind weather. But the time was well spent and we had a great time. This picture is of the Coquill Indian tribe custom of smoking salmon in a large pit on the coast of Coos Bay on the Pacific Ocean. We actually got to eat this salmon along with locally grown wild rice with dried cranberries and toasted hazelnuts and huckleberry cobbler for dessert.
Back in Minnesota it was rainy and cold, but it brought out all the mushrooms and we had a great time doing some forest foraging.
We got to spend some good time with Addy and Macy this summer. We'll miss them when we head south for the winter.
