Frolicky Friday is better than Weary Wednesday.:-))

You got that right!

[Mama_Bear]

You really grabbed this Oregonian with that headline, MamaBear!

Great! That makes me happy. I didn't realize you are an Oregonian. A beautiful state you have there! I love it when people from the state I am presenting participate and share their pride in their state.

I went to that link - "A Woman of Her Times". What an interesting article about an amazing woman. She lived her life to the fullest, didn't she? If she were living today, she would probably be a military test pilot, or an astronaut. LOL.

Thank you for linking to that inspiring story.

Dutchess, did you read this story about Mary Bruce?. For some reason, this woman sort of reminded me of you.....tackling your fears and taking flight lessons. :-)

Extremely interesting. I've heard of this gentleman and his quest for the Ark.

Afternoon Donaeus. It's good to see you back again!

[dixie sass]

Hey Flyboy - pretty ride you have there!!!!

[WaterDragon]

I'm so glad you enjoyed reading about Mrs. Bruce, MamaBear! She is inspiring.

The 'Author's Note' at the end of the article seems to me a perfect antidote to the feminazis' debasement and trivializing of women these days.

Good afternoon, Mama_Bear. Hope you are all having a great Friday and will all have a greater weekend.

In my Googling, I found several nice pictures of the Bandon coastline, but I couldn't include them all in my presentation. Here are a couple dramatic photographs of your back yard. :-)

[dixie sass]

Awesome!

[dixie sass]

lol.

[dixie sass]

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Texagirl4W. Yes, I am having a great day. I love it that so many of our Oregonian FReepers have participated in celebrating their state. That always makes for a nice day here.

Hope things are fine down Texas way. :-)

[dixie sass]

Oh wow, thanks for the link! Extremely interesting insight into what it took to make that journey.

[dixie sass]

Merry travels! Happy Friday!

Another photograph of the coastline near Bandon. These rocks are called "Sea Stacks".

The Oregon coastline south of Bandon at Battle Rock.

Charleston Marina? Charleston? Had to be a misplaced Carolinian out there!

[SAMWolf]

It sure is. Nice to go there every once in a while just to "get away"

[Aeronaut]

pretty ride you have there!!!!

Why thank you ma'am.

One of the places that we did take time to visit on our way through Oregon was the Oregon Vortex. A strange place that is a bit off the beaten path but well worth visiting.

Some say there is some kind of magnetic force field going on there that causes strange phenomena, others say it is nothing more than optical illusions. Either way, I found it fascinating.

Even Einstein weighed in with his opinion on the Vortex.........."Albert Einstein developed the second theory about the VORTEX. He thought the phenomenon was more than just optical, that it was something we could also feel. Because the VORTEX actually expands and contracts as much as 19 inches several times daily, Einstein thought a persons molecular structure also expands or contracts as they walk through the area, keeping the same proportions as before."
