Treesong

July 5
O'Brien, OR

Sat. morning I bid farewell to Greenwood and motored up the coast on Hwy. 1 and then 101. I stopped at Klamath, CA and camped the night there. Sun. morning I made it a goal to get in the ocean, not being certain if I'd get back to the coast again. After several attempts of finding a way down the cliffs I found an easy access at the mouth of the Klamath River. I walked down to the shore and went in the water ( and by "went in " I mean I stood at the shoreline and let several huge waves splash into me just getting my shorts wet.) The water was icy cold, and the waves were big and powerful. I imagined them originating off the coast of Japan, or maybe some island of the Philippines. Sun. evening I checked in at Treesong and met my new hosts Hazel and Myk, as well as two current wwoofers Travis and Eva. I was given a tour, then we had dinner after which a small fire was built in the yard, and we sat around and talked until dark. Treesong is a permaculture inspired place, built of cob construction - a mixture of clay, rock, straw, and water - and using poles from the surrounding forest. It's quite an unusual dwelling.
