Today was a beautiful day of riding.  We started in Coos Bay, traveled through Bandon and ended up in Port Orford.  We each managed to ride between 45 and 50 miles.  Bandon is a cute little coastal town, with a harbor, a lighthouse, and wetland.  After Bandon we rode on to Port Orford and had a post ride meal at the Crazy Norwegian,  a local fish & chips joint.   After eating we walked down to the harbor.   It's a working harbor with a small beach and numerous haystacks just offshore. 

 We checked out the local motel, but it was an $80 dump.  So we were off in search of a campground.  We checked out the Elk River RV park and it met all our standards….quiet, hot showers, and away from the coastal wind and dampness, and only $15 a night.!  It's located in a grassy valley with a river meandering past the campground.  As I write this I can hear the cows mooing in the distance.  Maybe we'll see an elk tomorrow.   Tomorrow it's  morning coffee in the campground and then on to Brookings.

A little more dry dock work is needed before they set sail
