Question re Oregon Coast
What's that big thing called -- looks like a canyon between two giant lava flows. The water comes in, bashes against either side, and then slams into a rounded rock cave at the end.
I remember looking at that sucker from up high with my girlfriend and laughing because it looked like a giant gash.
Her: What's so funny?
Me: Well...it kinda looks like...
Her: Like what?
Me: Well, you know...
Her: Wha?
Me: Ahhh..never mind. Let's go see that sea lion deal you keep talking about.
Her: (Cheerily) Okay!

I know where you're talking about, and I can't think of the name of it, either.Luther wrote:There is a place I stopped for photo's last fall, that I think is just south of Newport. Water gets funneled in and it blows up out of a hole. I can't remember the name of it though.
There's a whole buncha cool shit like that going on in the stretch between Lincoln City and where The Dunes start.
Hell...there's col shit all over the coast.

Either way, if you can get a female to accompany you to one of those spots where Mother Nature and the incoming tide put on those spectacular shows...
you're getting laid. No ifs, ans, or buts.
Not even Van speeding by on a motorcycle in a desperate attempt to avoid the scenery can screw it up.

It wasn't that Devil's Punchbowl thang, although that looks cool as fukk.
It was more a long, canyon-like deal that ended in a hollowed-out cave in the cliff wall. I walked way out on the lava flow until I started noticing more and more tidepools in the rocks. I was originally going to walk out to the end and peer over the clif to see the ocean and then I thought to myself, "Maybe not the wisest idea, Grasshoppa."
We started at a sand dune park and then worked our way north. Absolutely be-yootiful scenery.

That sounds like Spouting Horn in Kauai. I've been to that one. Makes a really loud sound like blowing air over the mouth of a jug.Luther wrote:There is a place I stopped for photo's last fall, that I think is just south of Newport.

The Devil's Punchbowl looks like the place where Daniel-san stole the Bonzai tree from and the Cobra Chi ditched him down below as they cut his rope. Thank God Miyagi-san was there to save the day.

The "jolt" wasn't at St Helens. It was outside of Battleground, WA, which is a suburb of Vantucky.
Rumor has it, that the quake was caused when two female residents of Vancouver both got up for more bon-bons at the exact same time.
3.9...whoop-de-do. Get back to me when it can at least crack into the 5's. That seems to be about the point where stuff gets to rocking. I've never experienced an earthquake in the 6's, but the SoCals tell me that 6 is about the point where it's no longer fun and games, and gets a little serious.
As far as St Helens -- there's generally a quake in the 3's there about every week or so, but they're caused by lava movement, and tend to be very shallow, usually centered in the mountain itself, or just below. The shallow ones are rarely felt very far away.

You're currently in Manzanita?
I'm guessing The Governator doesn't spend as much time at his spread there since he got a full-time job.
In a couple of weeks or so, I'll be near the head of that cool bay you're looking out over, mercilessly whacking the skulls of coho salmon. There is no cooler fishery than the Forks area of Nehalem Bay, imo -- there's a public boat dock with a path leading directly to the freaking bar, for chrissakes.
More fish than there is water, a bar and convenience store adjacent to the bay(and that store truly raises the bar on "convenience"), and they don't seem to enforce those "boating while intoxicated" laws on Nehalem Bay, and it's generally beautiful weather when the silvers are running...
What more could a guy ask for?

Speaking of such things (not really)--
Good luck with that.
PORTLAND -- An Oregon outdoors enthusiast is suing the federal government for not posting a danger warning next to a cliff in the Mount Hood National Forest.
Twenty-three-year-old Jerry Mersersau says he suffered mental anguish after trekking out in the dark to relieve himself and falling off a cliff in the national forest.
According to his lawsuit, Mersersau, who was not carrying a flashlight, fell about 20 to 30 feet onto a creek bed.
Mersersau charges that the government should have known that the cliff posed a danger to campers.
Good luck with that.

Devil's Punchbowl?

Hmm, how to put this delicately...
See, I read the words "Devil's Punchbowl" and instantly this place...
...conjures up images of where a long ago GF and I first gave her the experience of the charming phenomenon that is best described with the phrase...
blooorf!!
She yelled out, but dunking her head in the waterfall drowned out her screams and the blue hairs hiking up above us on the main trail were none the wiser.
I'm thinking the phrase, "Good times, good times..." was first coined at The Devil's Punchbowl.
Dins, nah, when it's coastal sightseeing time we slow down and enjoy the scenery. Your Devil's Punchbowl sorta reminds me of one of my Top Ten Favorite Places On Earth...
