We are still in Myrtle Creek, Oregon and realized that since we have made it west we have yet to to go the coast or see the ocean. We rectified that on Monday by taking a drive over to the Oregon coast. About 80 miles west of us is Coos Bay and Charleston, which are right on the Oregon coast. It was a beautiful drive through the hills and spectacular views at the coast. We stopped for lunch at the Portside Restaurant in the Charleston marina then took a scenic drive through the state park that is there. The scenic drive reminded us of the 17 mile drive in Big Sur, California. Here are some pictures.
As it is officially been two months since we started this adventure, here is an updated interstate map showing our travels to date.
If you compare this one with the one month picture you will notice we have slowed down significantly. We now travel about 200 miles then stay for around 4 days before moving on. It is much more relaxing and spreads out the gas expense! (Diesel is around $4.25/gallon in Oregon).
