9/6/07 Bandon - The Oregon Coast

We had planned to head towards Eugene.. but Steve wants to play golf.. so we are going to Bandon, just South of Newport, apparently it is rated the #2 public course in the US. We blew through Roseburg (the town i was born in, i did stop to get a coffee, it took 3-4 hours to get to the Pacific Ocean. It is slow driving in the MoJo mobile, but all the better to see the countryside. Having always been one who likes to drive 80 on the highway, is is an adjustment to drive 55-60, i feel like my mother if you want to know the truth, but most things seem to slow down as time marches on.

We lucked out, we found an RV park with a hot tub, sweet! I must admit, i do miss taking baths, that is not found while camping, but some of the upscale parks do have jacuzzis, and it is very nice to soak. So we drove through Banden a very cute town with incredible beaches, they have massive jagged rocks all along the coastline and there are dozens of rivers that run into the ocean which makes for great rock collecting and treasure hunting. It was too windy to even get out of the car much less play on the beach, so we headed for the hot tub instead and hoped it would be calmer the next day.
