We headed out early to the Jacobsen Salt Co, a small artisan salt joint around the corner from the SP. It was a cool family run joint that sat right on the water. We got a short lesson in salt making, it reminded me of how maple syrup is made. They pump ocean water into large vats and slowly boil the water away, adding spices and flavors along the way. Fun place.
Next was a fantastic beach walk, it was 5 miles into the small town of Netarts. Kari did the full walk, I cut it short at 6 miles (including an osprey sighting) and went to scavenge some wood for a beach fire. We hadn’t had one yet and I really had a hankering for this classic Oregon experience.
All went according to plan, it was a gorgeous evening.
On our way back, we had our next Two Against Nature encounter. It was dark, and Kari stepped into a hole on the side of the road, fell, and, broke her foot:( She knew it was broken immediately, she had broken the same bone years ago. I hoisted her onto my back and carried her home like a good man is supposed to. Well, not really, but I DID walk fawningly alongside as she hobbled back to camp. I poured her into the shower, then into bed.
Not a successful day…
