Road Trip to Oregon for Clamming, Crabbing, and Fishing Artwork

So, There I Am...

This is Travis Jay Vernon and Welcome! to the So There I Am... Podcast. I have been spending time in the outdoors since I could walk. I started out catching frogs and insects, and then hunting with everything from a BB gun and archery gear, to chasing big game with a rifle. I have been an avid fisherman everywhere I have lived and traveled. Cooking, foraging, fishing, and hunting have been a driving force for me. The only thing I am more passionate about than these things is sharing them with others and teaching those who want to learn. Along the way I have told, heard, and lived different stories.Stories told well allow a listener to live vicariously, reminisce of past experiences, or even dream of adventures to come. I will be sharing stories with you from my own experiences as a fly-fishing guide, retail manager, outdoor enthusiast, traveler, explorer and just everyday life. There will be stories from guests and stories from friends and others in different locales and varied walks of life. Every day is an opportunity for new adventures and expanding your own story. Let’s get to the stories!So, there I am…

Road Trip to Oregon for Clamming, Crabbing, and Fishing

Locations: Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Wyoming

WOW! Our world is crazy, but you do not have to be. Nancy and I decided after our trip to the UK was cancelled due to COVID-19, to travel to Oregon and go crabbing and clamming. We stayed at a crazy fun hotel in Crescent, Oregon called the Crescent Moon Motel. We got the glitter room, and the owner was super fun. We had a great Air BNB in Coos Bay, OR (Hollywood by the Bay). Great hosts and a super fun little spot. It is a bed, shower, and living space. Think kitchenette without the kitchen. There is a kitchen sink, microwave, and stuff but no stove. We took our Camp Chef and cooked outside. It was a great trip! We fished, clammed, and went crabbing in Coos Bay. For great gear and bait and local knowledge hit up the folks at The Bite’s On Bait and Tackle. Below is a link to their Facebook.

Nancy caught a great silver salmon, and we came home with a bunch of crab. Since coming home we have had some great meals with our families. This was something I have wanted to do for a long time, and I am glad we made the road trip.
