A good night's sleep was all that we needed before starting the next leg of our interesting journey.
The view from our Coos Bay Hotel
was a tranquil one
Laurie marveled at all of the
apples on this backyard tree
The first order of business was fulfilling Mike's request to have us drop by Marshfield H.S. where Steve Prefontaine was an alumnus to take a few photos.
Marshfield H.S.
Home of the Pirates
The M.H.S. Gym
Pirates and the Theater Arts
sound like a perfect match to me
Cerebral matters going on at M.H.S.
Marshfield H.S. Pirates
6-5 in football in 2023
Located across the street from
Marshfield H.S.
This could make for an interesting four years of high school.
It was a nice looking cemetery
Mission accomplished and photos sent, it was time for breakfast in nearby North Bend.
Mom's Kitchen is an old school operation
We were the only two non-locals in
Mom's Kitchen but everyone was
friendly and the food top notch
Cool building in North Bend
Coos Bay was still sleepy as we
headed south to Bandon, Oregon
Bandon has LOTS of wood
carvings like this big one
Laurie's efforts to bolster yet another
Oregon coastal city's economy started here
I liked the free display of
art by local school students
This chocolate shop got a few
of my retirement dollars
DAMN TEMPTING!
I loved Gene Wilder
as Willy Wonka
The view of Bandon's bay
Eerie octopus
Swarming Pelicans are a
deep rooted fear in all of us
Agree?
The view from Port Orchard, Oregon's
Battle Rock City Park
The bridge that links the communities
of Wedderburn and Gold Beach, Oregon
The Oregon Coast is one of
rugged beauty mile after mile
Gentle waves lapping
the Oregon shore
Another amazing view that
needs a . . .
. . . closer view
The lonely lighthouse in
Crescent City, California
We had no choice but to stop here
Paul Bunyan, his blue ox Babe
and little Laurie
Part of the Native American Museum
in the Trees of Mystery Museum
This ancient Native American symbol
is always disturbing
Southwestern tribes used this reverse swastika symbol as the sign of the whirling log that was a sacred image used in healing rituals.
A perfect headdress
Bigfoot claims another girlfriend
The Sun was setting so we needed a
place for the night in Arcata, California
We found it next to this fine dining
establishment which is as old as I am
Arcata's Main Square Park
Our night would be spent
comfortably at the Hotel Arcata
It is 108 years old this year
Our man at the Registration Desk
had a wealth of information about the
Hotel Arcata's history
It was built before the advent of
California's child labor laws
Thus the mistake in the mosaic floor that was made tile-by-tile by 6 year old workers back in the day.
Pizza for dinner as a perfect idea
at the eclectic spot
Can you name all of the people
in the Arcata Pizza's mural?
Funky food served by nice people
We even drank adult beverages
produced somewhat locally
DEEEElicious!
Aliens are all around us
Isn't that the Alien Guru from TV?
Some more thoughts about the UW 2023 football season . . .
The Dawgs have a proud, rich
football tradition
The last regular season slate
of games in PAC-12 history
Only 7-5 USC's regular season is done at this time.
Apple Cup on Saturday
GO DAWGS!
