We really like all the old bridges along 101 designed by Conde McCullough and built in the 1930’s.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
October 9th – We went back to the sand dunes for our walk. Up and over the dunes and down to the beach is easier said than done because climbing the sand is difficult and leaves the legs feeling like rubber. We took a good look at the weather for the next week and decided to leave here tomorrow as soon as the fog allows. The weather in Crater Lake NP is suppose to change drastically next week so we are trying to get in there ahead of what could be a snow storm closing most of the Park.

 

October 8th – We drove to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area for our morning walk. Luckily it is only a couple miles from the campground. We toured south from here down to Reedsport and met friends for lunch, tried out the local Dog Park and drove out to the Elk viewing area where we saw a large herd of elk in several groups. The fog returned on the way home.


 


October 7th – We got our beach walk where we saw the largest Bald Eagle I have ever seen. We got to play some Pickleball and still packed up to leave by noon. We stopped at a few viewpoints along the way so it was after 3 o’clock by the time we setup and got some lunch. Some places the highway is hundreds of feet above the ocean and at one spot only a few feet, some very rugged rocks pounded by surf and some sandy beach for miles with little waves.
