Entering Tsunami Hazard Zone

{ Posted on 9:23 PM by JR Erickson }

P1601

I was driving down to the local grocery store, and on the way I noticed this sign. This is actually the sign we see when we first come into the little town that we are staying in. I'm so glad they are warning us, because if a 25 foot wall of water comes crashing into the beach house I wont be wondering where the water is coming from. They actually have little signs showing you the way for tsunami escape routes.... can you imagine during a tsunami,, "ok honey.. where is that tsunami sign at again?" I don't think I need signs, I am going in a straight line in my suburban full throttle to the nearest mountain. I will take out houses, fences, cows, or whatever lies between me and being king of the hill.

Air Museum in Tillamook Oregon

{ Posted on 8:24 PM by JR Erickson }

We took a drive out to the Air Museum just south of Tillamook Oregon. The hanger was built in 1942, and it housed 4 blimps that were used to patrol the Oregon Coast just in case we had some submarine attacks during world war 2. There was a ton of cool old planes in the hanger, and there was a big fat plane that had Erickson printed on the side. The boys had a great time. Check out some of the planes, they are way cool.
