My older son Chory visited last weekend. It was a maiden coast trip for his newly imported 1991 Honda Beat and a chance for socially distanced carry-out to celebrate the season. He brought Mackerel Jack Crudo, Steamer Clams and Rock Crab Chowder fresh from Nevor Shellfish Farm in Netarts. If you have a chance, plan a trip over the Three Capes Scenic Route for celebratory take-out with your near and dear ones. It s fare that makes a meal into an event. The crudo is among my top five favorite bites of a lifetime. Whales are migrating this winter, as always, and can be viewed from shore most days if we know what to watch for.

(KTVZ) This year’s winter whale-watching and the 2021 First Day Hikes will go on, but volunteers won’t be stationed at whale watching sites and hikes won’t be led by rangers or volunteers. “Oregonians love these traditions, but with the pandemic continuing to affect our communities we encourage everyone to visit the whale watching sites and hike or explore a state park Jan. 1 on their own,” said Lisa Sumption, director of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The parking fee for the 25 parks that normally require a parking permit will be waived for First Day Hikes on Jan. 1, 2021. Some parks may display posters that include recommended hikes and ranger favorites.
