Down the Oregon Coast







We have continued down the Oregon Coast through the rain and fog for the last two days. In fact we having been driving in rain for the last four days and we truly understand the meaning of the term rain forest. Highway 101 from Coos Bay to Brookings is is truly spectular with numerous blind curves as it hugs the ragged coastline. As we navigated this challenging road in the heavy rain and high winds we were reminded that this is not just a trip but indeed an adventure. Bev is not overly enamoured with her new 2-piece rain suit.....the seams leak and today her jeans were wet, she had to wring out her gloves, but at least her boots were well made. They managed not to fall apart even though they and her socks were full of water ALL day.

Hello there. Brent and I each had fun writing about our adventures in Tokyo, so when I heard that you had a blog about your travels, I immediately got excited to read it.
It's cool reading about places that I haven't ever heard of. And now, as you hit Victoria and head down the Oregon coast, I have a sense of "HEY, THAT'S MY CORNER OF THE WORLD."

It's easy to see where Brent's humor comes from. Thanks for taking the time to write about your adventures. I have enjoyed them!
