In the big bend area, we can see the Yaquina Bay Bridge and the lower bay for about 3.5 miles before getting back to town. The low dark buildings “under” the bridge are the Oregon State University Mark Hatfield Marine Science Center, somewhat famous for oceanography research. Also in this area is the Newport Aquarium, where Keiko the whale (“Free Willy”) was located for a number of years after being rescued from Mexico and before he was flown to Iceland in 1998.
That is all for today...
