Slogvik photo album #4

This is not the sloop Restoration, but it will have to do as we prepare to enter the Tillamook Cheese Creamery.

Einar is impressed with this American cow that will never kick as her hooves are bolted to the floor!!

A view inside this factory where the blocks of cheese are being processed and wrapped.

These young ice cream servers did not believe Keith when he suggested that their "waffle cones" should more properly be called "krumkake." They thought he was just another dirty old man, until a lady behind him confirmed the legitimacy of this term. She said she was from the "Norwegian community" of Minnesota.

Here Rotraud, Einar and Peg enjoy the cool temperature of the north Oregon coast.

Finally she made it --- wading in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Einar resists as Rotraud tries to get him in to the Pacific surf. This Viking says "NO" without a Viking boat!

At an other peaceful spot along the Oregon coast, Keith, Rotraud & Einar rest on this large piece of driftwood.

Approaching the historic Siuslaw River Bridge at Florence built in 1936. Check out the old photo at the Oregon historic bridges web site.

Viking Einar looks out to sea through the fog at Brays Point.

Just north of Coos Bay, Einar & Rotraud strike a pose. Across the water here is the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.

Peg checks out the welcoming signs for the North Bend and Coos Bay communities seen here in the distance.

We meet our long time good friend, Ann Webster, for dinner at a Charleston restaurant just west of Coos Bay.

Ann happily shows off the Norwegian flag pin she was just given by Rotraud & Einar

Staying in the Mill Casino Hotel this evening, Keith & Einar try to figure out how to work these electronic slot machines. They won nothing & Peg almost got the camera confiscated for taking this photo!

Peg, Rotraud & Einar relax in the Mill Hotel lobby before checking out in the morning of the 24th.

Rotraud & Einar are seen here with this painting which is an example of the Hotel decor.

One last photo op in the parking lot before leaving this interesting Native American casino and hotel.
