Bridge of Sighs

For years we have been driving the I-5 corridor from Washington to San Diego. Every year I ask to go to the Oregon coast, but time does not allow for this detour. We have plenty of time now and my wish is fulfilled. After staying in busy Lincoln City we head south to Gold Beach. It is very hot in the Rogue Valley and as a result, most of the coastline is shrouded in fog. We are fortunate at our campsite in Gold Beach to have sunshine all day.

The Honey Bear Campground has a Black Forest Sausage Restaurant and deli.

Everything is homemade, fresh, and preservative free. 

Along the Oregon Coast Highway are a series of bridges built in the 1930's by Isaac Lee Patterson. They are distinct and quite lovely.

Fishing boats float where the Rogue River flows into the Pacific Ocean hoping to catch their limit of steelhead.

Jill drove from Grants Pass to spend a night with us. We did some sightseeing on the way to dinner. Ahhhh

We saw this extreme off-road RV from Colorado at one of the viewpoints. We were speculating how this young family could afford such luxury. I'm guessing he some famous BMX dude.
