Haystack Rock, Oregon

When I was at the Lighthouse in Point Reyes, I met a guy who was from Portland. He recommended that I make a stop at the Haystack Rocks on the Northern coast of Oregon to take a few shots. These are seen in many photographs and it’s quite a popular photographic spot… except for when I went. By the time I made it to the coast it was starting to get a bit dark, not to mention that it was freezing and raining. Not the best conditions to photograph this great location but it allowed me to test out my waterproof camera case! [disclaimer: they are glorified wal-mart bags; they do the job!). The drive back East was quite a bit more exciting as it began to rain even harder and I was driving along a very forested area of Oregon through another long and winding road. It was awesome, and then I almost hit a deer. He was just chillin in the middle of the road out on a bridge. Crazy little guy. At this point I’m really looking forward to catching up with the guys who are out in Montana, but it was pretty late, so I made it just past Portland before crashing at a rest stop for the night.
