In early April, we went to Coos Bay for a night and then drove back up the coast the following day, following the route below.

Somehow, the weather god smiled on us and granted sunny, clear skies all day. We stopped a thousand or so times (Brooks was very patient!) and as a result, there are some pictures.
I meandered to the edge of a small bluff and looked over, and what do you know, there the ocean was, straight below me. This is totally unlike the beaches I grew up with, where you could sidle up to ocean over a huge distance of flat land, which is right next to…another huge stretch of flat land.
Highway 101, on this stretch of the coast, often feels like it’s hanging over the ocean. You get these stunning views of sea on one side and forest on the other.
Of course, there are also plenty of places where the FREEZING water is more accessible. Had to fight off the urge to jump right in…
That’s all for now.
