To savor a scoop of locally made huckleberry cheesecake ice cream, to scramble down a rocky path for a closer look at an island of sea lions or inspect a starfish, to try pancakes at the Pancake Mill, to detour through “Old Town” Bandon, to inspect the handiwork of a chainsaw carver. Ryan would say “no” on any other roadtrip but this week we’re taking it all in. Wow what a unique experience. To take the time to see and do everything we want. And when the week is over, where ever we wind up, we’ll exit east for Salt Lake City, home.

Bandon

This guy made the coolest saw stools and benches outside Bandon.

No question. We were heading for a view in Port Orford.

Voila!

Heading to Gold Beach. The coastline has been cloudy and overcast all morning. Typical Oregon, they say.
