The bridge we slept under goes North to Washington. We took the bridge that took us South. We were commenting on how we didn't find any tikis in Astoria when in a Goodwill store I noticed all the tikis in this ladies cart. She lives in Astoria. Her name is Pooka and she's a tiki collector. She hunts really well so we know not to hunt in her home town. She is my newest fb friend. I hope she joins Tiki Central. We made it to Seaside in time for lunch. All the restaurants on the main drag were super busy. We got to the beach and turned left. We saw a hotel with a sing for a restaurant. We sat down with a beautiful view and had a terrific lunch. We will go there again. After lunch we headed out. Along the way we saw this garden. We drove along the Oregon coast and stopped to admire the view. In several costal towns we saw Munktiki's for sale in the antique shops. That was fun. We got to Lincoln too late to shop. We were sad because our best luck has always been there. Too far to come back and I had a hotel reservation in Newport. At least we got to see some HUGE tikis. We made it to Newport and walked along the pier area. We like to visit these tikis that are in front of Ripley's Believe It Or Not. WOW WOW WOW WOW the next day we found a cookie jar we didn't know existed. We had the shakers (now we have 2 sets) but now we had something wonderful. Here's the bottom of the cookie jar. We were still in ecstasy when in another store we found a wooden tiki pole similar to those at the Tiki Oasis hotel in San Diego. All four sides are tikis. We went to breakfast at Elmer's and had their famous German pancake. It's so good with lemon. At another store I though I'd spotted a tiki mug but I was fooled. I do like the looks enough to try the shape out for a mug in the future. We made a spur of the moment decision to leave the coast and to cut over to Eugene, Oregon so I could visit my nephew and his wife. We spent the night in Springfield another good hunting ground. The next day we took them out to lunch and I gave them a copy of Tiki Magazine and showed them my article. Now it was time to drive home from Eugene. We got to see the top of Mt. Shasta. At home Dan unloaded all of his tiki loot. We are still stunned with this find and this bowl now has been placed with those in the other colors. Oregon is a wonderful state. We always have a great time. Thank you all for sharing this with us. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2016-07-01 20:48 ]

Part III the rest of our trip to Oregon and the successful Tiki Hunt.

Today our goal was to find tikis all the way to Newport.

The bridge we slept under goes North to Washington. We took the bridge that took us South.

We were commenting on how we didn't find any tikis in Astoria when in a Goodwill store I noticed all the tikis in this ladies cart. She lives in Astoria. Her name is Pooka and she's a tiki collector.

She hunts really well so we know not to hunt in her home town. She is my newest fb friend. I hope she joins Tiki Central.

We made it to Seaside in time for lunch. All the restaurants on the main drag were super busy. We got to the beach and turned left.

We saw a hotel with a sing for a restaurant.
We sat down with a beautiful view and had a terrific lunch. We will go there again.

After lunch we headed out. Along the way we saw this garden.

We drove along the Oregon coast and stopped to admire the view.

In several costal towns we saw Munktiki's for sale in the antique shops. That was fun.

We got to Lincoln too late to shop. We were sad because our best luck has always been there. Too far to come back and I had a hotel reservation in Newport. At least we got to see some HUGE tikis.

We made it to Newport and walked along the pier area.

We like to visit these tikis that

are in front of Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
