Just another New Year's Day in Manzanita

Do they know how to have fun in Manzanita on New Year's Day, or what?

These people are as wild and crazy as Republicans vying for the White House.

They (the ones in Manzanita) call themselves the "Polar Bears." The Republican ones are calling themselves liars, hypocrites and closet liberals (gasp!).













Back to the beach in Manzanita...I'll let them tell their own story in photos.

It begins with a big fire on the beach and a whole lot of would-be bears and their extended bear friends and families huddling around them.

Then there's this mad dash to the Pacific.













Hitting the surf.














And being greeted after a full immersion.


A cold, wet and Happy New Year!

By the way, if you think this is insane, don't miss the Fourth of July here.
