State of Oregon
Starting in Astoria and traveling south to Brookings, the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway provides views of amazing coastal scenery. The road winds by estuarine marshes, clings to seaside cliffs, passes through agricultural valleys and brushes against wind-sculpted dunes. Charming small towns, museums, state parks, overlooks, historic bridges and lighthouses ensure a delightful journey.

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.
