June 16, 2019 – Astoria

Back in the USA!   We plan on spending a couple of days in this  area  in our travel trailer  after visiting  JY’s sister  in  Florence Oregon.  Our excursion first went to Haystack Rock, outside of Astoria.  We made a brief visit there, which was made famous by the movie Goonies.  There are tours highlighting places from the movie in Haystack Rock. A few places had to be left out of the tours as current residents got tired of hundreds of people taking photos of their houses.

Haystack Rock – Goonies Movie

We were only at Haystack Rock for 45 minutes and then we moved to the beach town of Cannon Beach which had a carnival atmosphere.  The town and the beaches were really crowded as it was Father’s Day.  Families milled around town along with our busload of 40 people. So we took advantage of the crowded, carnival atmosphere and rode the merry–go-round just for the fun of it. 

Merry-Go-Round
