Twilight, Thor's Well

Thor's "Well" is a tidal pool hole on the central Oregon coast that funnels waves down a 15 foot drop thru a lava tube. Tidal pools can be challenging. Thor only comes alive at high tide & wind and it helps to be close enough to see into the plunging waters. So you learn to track the big waves closely.
