Over dinner last night, we decided to head down the coast
instead of inland Oregon. Whew we were with our friend from Portland, he was
telling us about all the snow that the mountains have been receiving now. Hood
mountain is still open for skiing with fresh powder almost every day. Crater
Lake is beautiful if you don’t mind renting skis or snow shoes to get around.
Although I love the mountains, we decided that for now, the sunny coast of
Oregon is preferred. We had heard a lot about Bullards Beach State Park about
100 miles south. Since that is our daily mileage goal, it fit perfectly. Plus,
we had chores to do that needed a nearby town so Bullards was perfect since it
is right outside of Bandon. We took care of the car with an oil change &
wash, did laundry, grocery shopping and finished off with a late lunch of fish
& chips in a little restaurant on the pier of the Coquille River. When we
arrived back to the campground, we took a drivel down to the Pacific Ocean.
(About 1-1/2 miles each way) Barbara was in her glory! Since we have been
making steady progress (1300 miles in the 11 days that we’ve been towing the
Escape, we decided to spend another day at Bullards Beach tomorrow. We’ve
decided to take a morning visit to the Coquille Light House. Until the next
post…..
