Kate's Day 7: Newport to Corvallis

We had a quick coffee with Dafne this morning before heading back in the truck and driving inland from Newport to Corvallis. Margot drove me by Hatfield Marine Sciences Centre, where she and Dafne do a bunch of experiments. It is definitely a little bit less remote than BMSC, however, it doesn't have the proximity to rocky intertidal or quite the character of Bamfield!

We viewed one final lighthouse, Yaquinna Bay Historic Lighthouse, which overlooks the entrance to Yaquinna Bay and the bridge over to where Hatfield is located.


Finally, we arrived in Corvallis, dumped our stuff at Margot's really neat house, and came up to Oregon State University to finish weighing samples and so that I could write the blog up while Margs sorted out stuff!

Hey Kate!
Love checking out the photos & the videos. Sounds like you are having a blast!
Hey to Margo too!
So, ummm, hanging here in Florida with the French relatives & they've suggested you take a few French classes, if only to improve to accent.....ha, ha, ha!!
Will continue to read on down the blog.
