Again this morning we woke up to a little coastal wet weather, but by 10:30 it was gone and the sun was on its way out. Toda we are going up to Reedsport for the Chainsaw Carving Championship. It is suppose to be one of the biggest in Oregon. We got there around 11:00 and they were busy doing carvings as we showed up. They were having a 1 hour contest, which they called quick carve.
This guy carving an eagle is a friend of ours, we met him last year while working for Steve's and found out this was a job that he is finally doing real good at and making a good living at it. He owns his own store here in Reedsport. All of these carvings are going to be auctioned off this afternoon.
Here are a few of the carvings, their are over 20 different competitor's.
Yes, we are in Oregon Duck territory.
The artwork is out of this world what these people can do with chainsaws.
We did find another Duck, if you are ever in this area during Fathers Day Weekend make this one of those stops. We had a great time watching them work on there art work.
We must at least stop at a different Light House every week we hope, today we stopped by Umpqua River Lighthouse. The lighthouse you can read above as been moved a couple of times and it is still a working lighthouse.
It was another wonderful day and we are looking forward to our next days off to explore this area.
