Coos Bay, Oregon

Today is Sunday so this must be Coos Bay, Oregon.   Spent most of the day driving and stopping to see the sites in Oregon.  We left Crescent City, CA this morning and headed north on Rt 101.   The Oregon border is about 40 miles north of Crescent City.  Before we left, I took a few pictures.  Here are a couple of shots taken near the Battery Point light house, some at sunset yesterday and the rest this morning:

Also took some pic's in the Redwood Forest just south of Crescent City but did not post last night.  Better late than never and the scenery is worth the wait:

Today we drove to Coos Bay in Oregon, but made quite a few stops along the way.  Here are a few pictures:

Saw these gulls on a street lamp and just had to snap off a shot.

Surfers can be seen up and down the coast.  Got a few nice shots of this fellow.

Shot this gull over the Chetco River, Oregon.  Click on the photo to get a larger size photo.

Had a blast taking shots of the gulls.  Way too many pictures, but thought I might share a few

This was Meyers Creek Beach - a really spectacular place.

Surfers on Meyers Creek Beach

Stuff grows everywhere out here, even on the rocks!  

Here's a fun pic.  Kid jumping off a rock!

Tonight we had dinner with a couple who are into Geocaching.  We met them at the bar in the restaurant in Coos Bay and they invited us to join them for dinner.  Had a wonderful time talking to them.

Tomorrow we continue north on Route 101 but will only do about 80 ro 90 miles.  Our new friends suggested we stay in a small town called Yacthats and recommended a hotel named the Adobe.  It's located on the beach and a storm is forecast for tomorrow.  This place is supposed to be an ideal place to watch the storm.  It seems that people actually travel to the Oregon coast during storm season to watch the storms.  Seems the ocean puts on quite a show!

Until tomorrow, . . . . .
