Sightseeing

We have been without the internet for a few days.
We left Coos Bay, and drove to Eugene, Oregon to have some maintainence done to the coach.
We ended up staying at another expensive 'resort'. Got an appointment to have the coach worked on the next day. And it was a looong day. We got there at 7:30, and they finally finished at 9:30 that night.
We spent the night in their parking lot & left on Saturday for Sisters, Oregon.
Met up with Murphy & Gail in Sisters & are now traveling with them.
We saw an elk ranch outside of town & the Sisters Mountains.
On Monday, John and Ann went to LaPine, Oregon, about 50 miles south, to visit some friends made at our park in Casa Grande - Ralph & Ginny. Enjoyed our visit with them.
We left Tuesday, after getting a new tire for the coach, and are now on the Columbia River Gorge.
Yesterday, the four of us drove west along the gourge & stopped at The Dalles, Oregon ( the only city in the U. S. with 'the' in the name). Had lunch there, and then went to the Cascade Locks - there is an old lock there, where people fish from the sides of the lock.
Then we went on to Bonneville, Oregon & toured the dam there & the fish hatchery.

Our camp site for tonight - notice the wooden pelican

Bay on the coast

We drove out of California today & into Oregon. This southern coast of Oregon is just as pretty & wild looking as the northern California coast. It was a windy, curvy trip & we have ended up in Coos Bay.

Monday, we went to a small town on the coast called Shelter Cove. We were heading there to see a lighthouse. We were also expecting a small, poor town. But, it was a very upscale town, with an airport, that looked like it was for the locals.
Unknown to us, they were having a Memorial Day tribute to veterans. The lady that told us about the tribute was the wife of the man whose statue is in the park where the tribute was held. She told us all about Mario Machi & their life together. She was very interesting & so nice to a couple of strangers.
The lighthouse was moved here from Cape Mendicino, the westernmost point in California, and restored. The lighthouse was in use from 1868, until 1951 when the Coast Guard decommissioned it.
On the north of Shelter Cove is Seal Beach, where we found more sea lions & harbor seals with their pups.
On our way up the coast, we stopped in Loleta to see a cheese factory. It was small, but we saw two vats - one with whey & curds & the other with just the curd, later to be pressed & aged into cheese.
