Elk in Nehalem Bay State Park

Nehalem Bay State Park elk

After walking the beach in Nehalem Bay State Park for a mile or so, we had the option of retracing our footsteps on the beach or heading inland a bit to the sand dunes and forests back to our car. We chose the latter in the hopes of seeing an elk or two. We ended up seeing about a dozen of them.

Zakk Sabbath @ Midtown Ballroom (November 2, 2025 – Bend, Oregon)

It’s been two weeks since this show in Bend, but I continue to relive that evening over and over again in my head.

Dark Chapel’s Dario Lorina (guitar) and Mike Gunn (bass) (November 2025)

We ran into these guys near the Deschutes Brewery Public House a couple of hours before they went on stage just a few blocks away. We had dinner with them before watching their awesomeness on stage. Great night!
