Important!

Friends,

I recently took a look at the hit stats for the site, and saw that we surpassed 10,000 hits a few months ago, without much fanfare. I must say that the site has grown far beyond my wildest expectations, and I have no one to thank except all of you who have visited the site over the last two years.

I have recieved a number of e-mails asking why I don't go into more detail about some of the other coastal branches. My typical (and very truthful) answer has been that I don't have the time to do it all to the same standards that I have set for this site. Frankly, since moving to Tillamook, I have found that I am actually able to do LESS on the site than I did from 300 miles away. Suffice it to say that the Port is keeping me plenty busy, though I am certainly not complaining.

I recently drove, in a two-day stretch, the Coos Bay line and the Astoria branch, and was quite impressed with what I saw. Later, it dawned on me that I could, perhaps even should do it. So, without further adieu, let me tease you with: (VERY rough draft...)
