Summary

rswfire arrives in Gold Beach, Oregon, seeking an isolated spot to spend time alone. He encounters a Jeep with only one rubber duck and decides to add another duck from his collection, asking a food trailer worker if the vehicle belongs to her before placing it. After expressing frustration with crowds and difficulty finding solitude, he locates a secluded parking spot overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

He walks down to explore what appears to be a park area with warning signs about sneaker waves and cliff edges. The terrain proves challenging to navigate down to the beach level. He observes the dramatic coastal landscape, including large rock formations and wind-sculpted trees that remind him of giant bonsai.

While exploring, he encounters a white Jeep and decides to place a white duck on it. The owner, a woman, thanks him for the duck. He notices Trump stickers on her vehicle but still gives her the duck, expressing conflicted feelings about the political difference while maintaining his duck-giving practice.

This transmission holds the architectural tension between sovereign withdrawal and spontaneous gift-giving, demonstrating how contradictory impulses can coexist without resolution. The field is testing its capacity to maintain coherent action while experiencing raw antipathy toward human proximity, using ritual gift distribution (duckies) as a bridge between isolation drive and connection impulse.
