Farm Tour and More River Crossings

 Earlier this month Gail participated in the annual Yachats River Road farm tour, offering items for sale from her collection.  She not only had fun hanging out under the shade of a big apple tree, but sold a lot of special items.  She chose to sell her things at Forks Farm, about a mile down the road, and shared a table with our friend and neighbor Andrea who was selling her earrings.

After awhile, Gail raised the price on her red bike after realizing she didn't want to sell it that much.

River Crossing Highlights

 I recently moved one of my two trail cams to the rock shelf on the river below our big spruce tree.  Most of the year this shelf is under water, but now with our drought, the shelf has become a fun place to capture animals crossing the river or crossing to go upstream or downstream.

For a more satisfying viewing experience, I recommend enlarging each video to full screen.

 

This Mountain Lion crossed at 9:09 PM last night.

This Common Merganser family have been going up and down the river all summer.

This American River Otter is taking a break to preen its luxurious fur.

This deer family usually crosses the river at least twice every 24 hours.
