Made it to Coos Bay

Pat with her youngest son Gary.  He's pointing out what the bear is looking at.

1941 vintage compensating  binnacle from an old Navy ship

One on several nice paintings in the Johnny's Marina office.

There are several herds of Wild Elk that live the Pacific Coast Highway.  This is just South of Orick, California

There were 5 or 6 Bulls and about a dozen lady Elk in this group that was resting here just above the waterline

Coastal Fog on Highway 101.  We passed several motorcycle riders, singles and groups going both ways.  It's COLD riding in this stuff.

Redwood Forest.  Finally the sun came out.  We're near the Oregon Border now

My brother Tom Acord, has a small farm in Kerby, OR.  It's near the Oregon Caves. This sculpure was made from horse shoes by  a friend of his.

Tom & Kathy have a nice guest cabin on the farm. It's very comfortable and well furnished with Western goodies

One of their barns

Beacon HIll.  East side of Grants Pass, Oregon.  The cut you see at the base is I-5. That section was homesteaded by my Grandfather and Great Uncle.  It was sold off in pieces, my dad sold the last 160 acres back in the 1950's.  

Highway 42, heading to the Coast

Coos River.  The size of the logs in this deck sure aren't the size we're used to seeing.  This are Alder, probably headed to the chipper.

Night 4.  We're parked at Preston & Karen's home in Coos Bay.  Lanny jointed us up here, and will be spending the night.  Saturday, we'll all attend the Coos County Fair

Visiting after dinner.

We've been friends with Karen & Preston for 25 years!  It's good to see them  again!
