NWRG Meet in Redmond, OR - Day 8 & 9

  Day 8, Redmond. OR to Florence, OR, 256 miles;  Today was just a dash across the Cascades and the Willamette Valley to Florence, OR with a lunch stop with Mike Camicia in Pleasant Hill.  Started with Fifty plus miles of heavy fog leaving Redmond. Pat wants a windshield wiper on her side.


Finally broke out to sunshine.  Did I mention they have a lot of trees in Oregon?


And pressed on to the coast.   Before we quit for the day, had to go to the Oregon Dunes.  These dunes are high.  Ever try to climb in loose sand?



Worth it though,,,,,


End of Day 8,  not many pictures.

Say 9, Florence, OR to Fortuna, CA, 295 miles.  Day started overcast and misting, finally gave way to blue skies. Did I mention they have a lot of trees in Oregon?


Also, have a great rugged coast,,



Salmon are running in the Rogue River,,,, lots of fishing boats.


Going thru Bandon, folks thought we were part of the Cranberry Festival Parade,  fortunately, we escaped.  But we did discover that Goldilocks and the three bears have been kidnapped and are in western Oregon!


Also, Paul and Babe are alive and well here as well.  And have lived here for at least 30 years.


That's it, tomorrow the mad dash for home for our little pack of 5 Model A's,,,   ZZZZZ,,,,,

Is that the Paul Bunyan outside of The Trees of Mystery? We like that place.
