60th Annual Depoe Bay Indian Salmon Bake

It was pouring down rain, but the show must go on.  Big crowd at the 60th Annual Depoe Bay Salmon Bake.  The smoke fired fish was delicious.  Cole slaw was yummy.  Neighborhood kids were selling home made desserts for $1 – we had a brownie and a marionberry muffin.  Elaine bought a Salmon Bake tee shirt.  Then we scurried home in the rain to dry off and warm up.

Cocktail hour goes on, rain or shine.  We started indoors watching the ocean, then moved out to the balcony when the rain finally stopped.  The seas were rough even though it was low tide.

Tomorrow, Sunday, will be our last day in Depoe Bay.  We leave early Monday morning for a day near Portland along the Columbia River and a night at a Narriott near the Airport.  We fly home Tuesday morning.  No post on Monday morning.  May do one Monday afternoon.  Final post on safe arrival at home on Tuesday.

  1. 30 lb halibut! Liked to have had more than a few oz. of that beauty!

    Wish I was there!

    Are there any Swordfish Bakes in the area!

    Have a safe trip home. F
