Haystack Rock, on the beach by the town of Cannon Beach, Oregon, was formed by lava flows occurring about 15-16 million years ago. The rock was granted Marine Garden status by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1990 because it is a nesting site for many seabirds, in particular the Puffin. During early Summer, wildlife officers and volunteers are there to answer questions about the birds and many forms of marine life living in its tidal pools, plus they stand guard to ensure that no one climbs the rocks to disturb nests.
Haystack Rock is featured as scenery in U.S. advertising, and movies such as ‘The Goonies’, ‘1941’, and ‘Kindergarten Cop’.
Oregon beaches are rugged, and due to the inconsistent, unpredictable weather, are not so much tourist destinations for tanning, but are perfect for recreation like walking, hiking, kayaking and wind-surfing. Campfires are permitted on many of the Oregon beaches – not Cannon Beach though – and are great for family gatherings and picnics. Cannon Beach is generally warmer and less windy than many of the coastal locations not far from Portland.

On April 29, 1903, the deadliest landslide in Canadian history blew out the east face of Turtle Mountain in southwestern Alberta, killing over 70 people in the town of Frank. This disaster is known as The Frank Slide. Turtle Mountain is about 250 km south of Calgary.

Moving from Texas to Oregon, this is the second round taking a few household items to have while our things are temporarily in storage until we find a house near Portland. I finally took the time to drive through The Petrified Forest State Park and through the Crystal Forest in Arizona. As traffic was low due to it being off-season, I was not concerned about laying on the road taking photos of this tumbleweed, but when finished I got up and saw a tour bus right there waiting for me to finish – nice that the driver didn’t honk.

Small mock inuksuit are built by travellers and displayed on the rocky edges beside Hwy 17 in Eastern Ontario, particularly west of North Bay. Those in the shape of human forms are “inunnguaq”, historically built by the Inuit to help herd cariboo. I built one of my own too, but it’s not as easy as it looks! Next, Lichen amass on shoreline rocks along Lake Superior, Ontario, the largest freshwater lake in the world.
