When we stayed at Newport we could often see lighted boats/ships out there far off the coast at night. A local told us they were probably clam ships. They must work in the middle of the night? The last morning we were in Newport, one boat/ship meandered close to the beach and I zoomed in with my camera and got a photo of it.
The name of the boat is "Timmy Boy."
Hwy 101
Mile-by-Mile Guide
Stops:
Cape Perpetua - which is the highest point along the way so panoramic views and a must see for me.

I eventually ask the locals what this yellow stuff is covering the lush green hills around here.
Makes for a very pretty landscape photo.
The yellow blossom plant is called gorse.
It was intentionally introduced into the southern Oregon’s coastal ecosystem in the late 1800’s, so not a native plant.
It is invasive and undesirable, evidently.
