Hi all, This a perfect situation to make use of public transportation, since the bus: http://www.co.benton.or.us/pw/stf/coast.php is nearly as fast as you can get there in a car, and parking in downtown Newport is always difficult. I tried to put the info out on the Midvalley list but there seems to be a problem with the name of the bird. Unfortunately it's too late to catch either of the two morning buses from the Amtrak station in Albany or downtown Corvallis The 3:25 PM bus will get you there by 5:05 PM but you would either need to overnight in Newport, or hitch a ride home (unless you can somehow see the bird in 10 minutes before the last bus leaves at 5:15 PM). But for anyone planning a trip tomorrow, the timetable is much more favorable. Happy car-free birding, Joel -- Joel Geier Camp Adair area north of Corvallis OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
