29 July Coos Bay

Several years ago, we shared a meal here with Ute Mike.


The T-Dub visits Charley Town


It was nice of the State to name this section of Hwy 101 after me!


One from yesterday.  Angie's lawn.  Surf boards and SUP boards.  Of course, Jon's pro model is in a soft case inside somewhere.


Pat did some laundry.  Used Karen's Christmas tree light holders to hang them out for some fresh air.


Charley Tuna was stolen a few years ago, but was recovered.  Someone hid him in the woods out of town.


Oysters are a big business in Coos Bay.  These have already been eaten...shells will be used for other things.


Daughter Angie and Darren, her hubby, rented this building, and turned it into a small cafe.  Eat in, or order and pick up whole meals to take out.  They had a good following, but it took too much time away, and the boys were small and needed too much attention. So, it was something else for awhile, now empty.




Yet another coastal gift shop


Need lots of eateries for the tourists.  Locals enjoy it too.


We'll be eating here before we head back to Kingman


Pat used to can Tuna every year. You don't save any money over buying it already canned, but the home canned is so much better, it's worth the time and effort.


The sign was planted that way


The Old General Store in Charleston


Good fish here!


Looks like a good place for a VROC rally. And, the Honeymoon Hotel!


The boat basin of trollers in the harbor today


Charleston is a major sea port on the Pacific Coast


A very good up scale restaurant


On the Draw Bridge


There are 3 busy canneries here in Charleston


This is new!  The main store is up the coast in Florence


It was a cool ride early this morning. The first time the little TW200 was unloaded since we left home in Kingman, AZ


Our good friend Susan (Zmean1) is a connoisseur  of chili dogs, and she loves Dairy Queen
Karen works here at South Coast Hospice.  A volunteer made up this Patriotic wheel barrow.


Wednesday Farmers Market.  Many fun vendors


Going to try making this the next time we visit a Golden Corral.  Will take some bacon to the Chocolate fountain!


Real Mexican Fish tacos for lunch. They were excellent.


We were going to have a Brisket, Mac and Cheese Bowl, but they ran out before we got there.


Lots of food vendors too


Another land mark


Liked this


Cool Platter


Davy, Davy Crockett!  They dyed his coon skin cap!


Fun store.  Some of the ladies dresses and accessories were amazing!
Took the dog for a walk

Nice evening on the River

There are all kinds and sizes of boats and ships for a couple of miles along this dock.  This is just a small sampling.
