Day 6 (Friday)

By Friday we began to realize that the good times will not be lasting too long. Through out the day Traci and I kept repeating the phrase, "At this time, a week ago..." or "We were running like crazy just a week ago." But anyhow, the plan for the day was to drive from Newport to Portland, and make few stops along the way, mainly visit the Evergreen Aviation Museum.

The shocks for the tailgate on my Jeep haven't been working for a while, so through out the trip Traci was in charge of holding up the door while I placed all of our luggage in the Jeep. Once we got back on the road, we decided to make one quick stop under the main bridge in Newport to take a few picture. The architecture and design of many bridges along the Oregon Coast are quite fascinating, so we had to take pictures. Once we left Newport, we made a few stops by Depot Bay (which claim to have the smallest Bay), D River (which claim to have the shortest river in the world) and a few antiques stores in Lincoln City.

We arrived at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in the early afternoon and looked around at the many relics the museum have obtained. The Spruce Goose took up the entire building and unfortunately we don't have any picture to prove it because of the setting I had the film camera in. Nevertheless, I do have proof that they had a WWII Jeep GPW... What an amazing sight.
