Chitwood Bridge Check In

Jeanette at Chitwood Bridge

The town of Toledo is perhaps our favorite get-away location, and we were ready for our Toledo "fix". An escape in the van for the day was just what we needed. Our route plan was to take Highway 20 and detour at the Eddyville exit to the "old" highway and on to Chitwood.  We first stopped to check out the Chitwood Bridge last year in May. Here is our bird list.  We were impressed with the birding enough that I suggested it as an eBird Hotspot, which it now is. The sunshine was great, and we had a good variety of birds. Here is our bird list for the day. For more on the Chitwood Bridge check out this blog.

We continued on to Toledo and birded the Depot Slough Path, another eBird Hotspot that we have enjoyed many times. Here is the bird list for today.  After enjoying lunch in the sunshine, we traveled on the Yaquina Bay Rd. to Paddle Park, another favorite. Jeanette folded down the bed in the van for me, and I took a nap and rested while she birded. When she came back, she laid down to rest, and I sat at the dinette and worked on bird photos. This is Jeanette's eBird List and photos. We left for home feeling refreshed an energized. The trip was just what we needed for a reset.
