In 40 years of living in the Pacific Northwest, I had never stopped in Gearhart, Oregon, despite driving by it on 101 many times. Today, I took a turn and paid Gearhart a brief visit (on the way to Astoria). Found a beautiful design on the wall between two sleeping or maybe dead businesses, a lovely walking trail that kept out of the rain, and some intriguing objects waiting to be appreciated. #PNW #hiking #OregonCoast #Gearhart #travel #rain #wallart #design #trees #SaintMary
