John's Comments
Quite a pleasant drive along the Oregon Pacific coast highway. Many locations to stop and view the scenery as well as take pictures. Population was rather sparse in this area and the lumber industry appeared to be the major employer.


John`s Recollections
Although the weather was not that co-operative it did seem fitting as we passed many fishermen in the rivers and bays along this northern stretch along the Pacific in Oregon. As we approached Bandon the coastine becoame more rugged and picturesque. Actually quite a pleasant drive with many stops to view the scenery.
