Today we continued on through Oregon. We stopped at Devil's punchbowl to view the scenery and pay a visit to the Winery. We walked along the shoreline and enjoyed the gentle breeze. Life is good. Next we continued on and stopped at a seafood market in Waldport. We bought fresh local crab-live. I would have been cool with the ones already cooked, but Mike wanted the freshest ones possible. As we drove further, Amber's engine began idoling funny. We pulled over to check it out, and an extremely nice man named Keith stopped to help. He was driving a Westaflia Syncro. There is some kind of special bond with all these Westfalia owners that I am still trying to figure out. It is actually very cool and I am proud to now be part of this. Keith and Mike checked out the engine a bit, but they were unable to pinpoint what it could be. We chose to drive back three miles to Tahkenitch Forest Park and find a spot so Mike could continue with his diagnosis. No luck. We decided to call it a night by feasting on our crabs and Devil's Punchbowl Pinot Blanc.
Geez guys, I'm exhausted for you two! I'm glad to hear Kelly you are keeping up with the hygiene! It has been a blast following this with you two! Keep the blogs coming!

Hey Mike & Kelly,
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't have all your gear unloaded and the engine lid off, we may have never met! I hope the engine problems are solved by now and Amber's little diesel is purring once again. Nice to meet you both! If you are driving thru Marin, call me!
Cheers
Keith
