PHOTO QUIZ
I first saw this in June, 2012 when I snapped this photo of a strange object on the beach. It gathered quite a crowd of people.
So...anybody recall this?

I saw no description. Honest. I just recall the news item from up in Oregon or Washington where the local city had to spend big bucks they had not
planned on to have the floating dock (?) cut up and hauled away and that the feeling was that many others were going to have to deal with similar
situations in the future.............and hopefully no radiation involved.
I could be wrong or course. It could happen. I thought I was wrong once but turns out I was mistaken. Just ask my wife.

Tsunami debri.
Cost a bundle to get it removed. Latest pic I saw was it hanging from a giant crane.
Also a big worry about foreign critters getting introduced to our west coast.

Yes, indeed you are right, elgatoloco. (and probably your wife, too.)
This event made national headlines when this floating dock debris from the Japan tidal wave found it's new home at Agate Beach, Oregon Coast.
Too much tonnage even for all those tourists to take home!
Guess I'll hunt around for something a bit harder to guess...

Superb research, Loretana, and you're spot on.
SharksBaja...Yeah, I miss his posts, too.
Co-Pilot and I stopped and had a great time w/delicious lunch at his 'Sharks' café near the waterfront in Newport two years ago. A very nice guy
whose vacation dream home on the river in Mulege was destroyed in a flood. Such a trajedy for him and many others.
He runs a great place in Newport and I'll be stopping by again soon.

He can speak for himself, and I assume he is still lurking. Last I heard, the restaurant was closed. I do have good reason to believe he's still
licking his wounds from having been pounded off the peninsula by the effects of climate change. His losses were greater than my own.
I miss him too.
The great North Pacific Garbage Patch seems to still be sucking-up the vast majority of the debris from Japan. (another natural disaster which helps
put it all in perspective.)
I cross-posted with Pompano...I hope is info is current and that when my friends visited, it was a temporary closure.

Loretana and vgabndo,
Just edited my post concerning SharksBaja café as to when visited. My medical handicap prohibited a return this season when on the coast. Sorry to
hear of a café closure.
Now here's a new Photo Quiz.
Can you tell me what and where? Hint: This one is the oldest of it's kind still standing.
And another oldest of it's kind...can you guess what and where?
And another oldest of it's kind...can you guess what and where?
This is gonna be easy for some Baja travelers.

Is the grain elevator in Saskatchewan? If so Northern, or Southern Sask? The old elevator in Blaine Lake looked like that one.

A resounding.... NO.
p.s. But DK should know where this is...being it's a mission and all. This one was built without using one single nail.

OMG! the dungeness crab and the steamer clams have got me salivating.....
I'm heading over to Uwajimaya right now!
Not that I wouldn't love to be back in Loreto right now.
That two week spring break vacation quickie was such a tease!!

Cataldo Mission? Baitcast should get that one. He grew up in the area.
I, too, miss sharksbaja. Hope he makes it back to nomads. His posts were usually informative and a pleasure to read. I still remember the sharks quiz
he gave us. The one in which nobody knew all 8 species. It's been what? 5, 6, 7 years now, I guess.
