I looove the Oregon Coast. One of the dreams in my life is to live there at some time (unfortunately rather unlikely ). Thanks for sharing

<---Did a quick search for mollusks of the Oregon Coast and got a hit on the second link. I then did an image search and sure enough...it's called a gooseneck barnacle. They spend their life attached to rocks and tend to live in clusters together with mussels.

Ah, so I was completely off! :P Thanks for finding out, Michelle. I was getting very curious as to what he was last night. And now that I look closer at it there is not really a shell at all.

Thank you, kittycats_delight for finding out what the little guy is! Thank you all for the complements! I've lived in Oregon for almost 4 years and had never gone to the coast, at least not as an adult. When I was a kid, my parents took a road trip to Seattle and we stopped at a beach in Oregon. I remembered that it was very pretty and that I felt at peace there. I always wanted to go back but until now, never had the opportunity. I find it especially neat that my first trip back was on my 30th birthday. I am for sure figuring out a way to go back when the weather is a bit warmer so I can get some swimming time in!
