    I am sure you are, but be careful in those caves. Make sure you have at least 3 light sources and some water. It's easy to get lost with no light. Also, if there are lots of turns, be sure to set up rock arrows to show you which turns to take to exit, and set them up so you can make them out in the dark.

    Sarah, you and Nikki may want to think about putting your key fobs in a Faraday pouch. They are an anti-theft device that block the signal to your fob. "A Faraday pouch is effectively a metal mesh inside a fabric or leather bag, and the layers of metal absorb the electrons being sent out by the key, stopping or greatly reducing their emission, and thus giving would-be thieves no signal to clone." They are inexpensive and offer great peace of mind. My friend's car was recently stolen in this way - and her fob was in her house! Happy, safe, travels!

    I grew up in New England a long time ago. On some Sundays on our way home from church when my mother had not prepared anything for our lunch, we would stop at Friendly’s for a burger and a shake. In those days before they named it the Fribble, It was called the Awful Awful. I think that my parents had a lot of fun when they first explain to us the meaning of the name. It was given that designation because it was “awfully big and awfully good.” Ah, childhood memories.

    You are more of an adventurer and I am. I do NOT like caves, especially low hanging caves. I've gone spelunking...and tight spaces are not my thing. My wife doesn't mind them. She's a little taller than you, but I'm 6'1" and it just isn't my thing. BUT, saying that...we are glad that you are conquering your fears.
    Yes, Blockbuster. Watched thousands of movies from that company. So many memories. We didn't have a Friendlies near it, but we did have a Chinese Restaurant. So, we go the The Great Wall of China, order our food, then go get a few movies, come back and pick up our order, then head back home and have a grand time. Miss those days.
    Marie wanted me to send you a comment...to thank you for these beautiful adventures that we get to go on...with you. Thanks for sharing them with us.

    The Oregon coast is super beautiful, different from the CA coast imo. Maybe invest in some kind of helmet or head protection if you're going to be hiking in areas where overhead obstacles can potentially hurt you. A cap especially with the bill in front is going to be a liability. You don't want a concussion to ruin a day of fun. Nice editing and views. Thank you for sharing.

    And yeah so true about the ice. I never even noticed it. Coz yeah if you are using ice for cooling drinks and water that's when you want to put it directly in the cooler but for foods you want to keep it in bags so the water eventually melts into those bags and you have the cold retaining without getting the water onto everything especially every time you want to change it having to empty out the cooler.
