Thanks Bob for the pics. I think I recognize the boat and the spot, on the road to Anini. Bummer. I am getting excited about heading back there soon.

What a foul taste is left by an incident like that with the double charge at the cafe, glad you caught it. Makes me want to go in and scold them for treating a friend that way!

I hear you Paul, the more I drove around the PNW the more I realized how much it has to offer, beautiful and diverse.
And I have also learned that when Bob mentions good roads, take note. But apparently don't share them. :-)

At home in rainy Kauai. Wet weather was good times for shop or indoor projects.
But then after a few days or couple of weeks at the most the sun would pop out and give a break to it. Well any place I'll be able to afford will be a fixer so should offer plenty of indoor projects for a while.

What Id really like to find is an old barn somewhere with a view. To park the coach beside or inside of depending on the weather. And to develop into a shop space /batchlor pad. That should keep me busy for a winter or three.

I am wondering if the much dryer eastern part of the area is nicer in winter time.
Many here in another thread mentioned preferring living inland to avoid the fog and tourist congestion of the coast.

In talking to a realestste guy the other day to find out about a listing . Turned out to be a Hawaii transplant. He was at a cabin well inland to get a break from the wetter weather on the coast where his main home is located.

So much to think about.
