Depoe Bay - Whale Watching


We drove down the coast a bit, toward Depoe Bay. We stopped along the way a bit at a rest stop area where we could see the ocean. We stopped to look for any whales, none found here. All of us got back on the road and headed farther south, into Depoe Bay. Here we looked again for more whales. At first we didn't see anything. We walked down the street a few hundred yards to the whale watching center. The park ranger came out with his camera and pointed down where we came from and pointed out two whales in the water. They are hard to see, but if you're patient you can see them surface every few minutes. The park ranger said the great place to be at the moment was down by that "dark van", he pointed down the street. That "dark van", was our van that we just got there in. The photo doesn't show much....but there it is.
