Boats and Barnacles

We drove to the coast and spent the day in Florence, Oregon.

Our mission was to find at least one place to which we could pull our travel trailer and have easy access to the beach.

We found the spot we were looking for almost immediately, then enjoyed a bit of beach combing with the pugs.

Old town Florence was a treat as well providing us a walk along the old harbor and the Siuslaw River.





A barnacle is a type of arthropod belonging to infraclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea, and is hence related to crabs and lobsters. Barnacles are exclusively marine, and tend to live in shallow and tidal waters, typically in erosive settings. They are sessile (non-motile) suspension feeders, and have two nektonic (active swimming) larval stages. Around 1,220 barnacle species are currently known.[1] The name "Cirripedia" is Latin, meaning "curl-footed".
