Day 9: Saturday June 14

Today we leave the Redwoods behind and head up the Oregon Coast.

Cranberry fields
Every town we drive through today there is “No Kings” protests.

“Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday are rallying in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, including thousands in Northern California. 

The “No Kings” protests were originally planned to counter Trump’s plans for a military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary. The parade also coincides with the president’s birthday. Also driving the demonstrations is opposition to recent immigration raids and the deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles.”

Cranberry processing factory and gift store
Captain’s Choice Fish House for lunch in North Bend. Clam chowder was so good (and gluten free!).
Caleb probably enjoyed this car wash more than anything else we’ve done…

Tonight we are camping at Horsfall Beach Recreation Area on the sand dunes. This area is for people to drive their side by sides and atvs on the sand dunes. I picked this site for Caleb so he could watch all the machines race.

Our campsite
Our campsite circled in red. Campsite is a lose term…nice parking lot is a closer descriptor and we like it 🙂

She loves the ocean
I call this one “Grumpy pants, who looks older than he acts currently”

Today was a laid back day of travelling up the Oregon Coast, exploring Coos Bay Area and playing in the sand. One big difference we noticed once we crossed from California to Oregon was the amount of campers and vehicles parked on the side of the main roads – looking like they are camping.

Everyone playing in the ocean and sand while I supervised in my many layers and toque. It’s super windy. Tomorrow we head inland Oregon.

Goodnight Oregon
