Today, as we continued our journey south toward the Oregon-California border, we encountered pockets of bicyclists near Coquille, pedaling with determination along the ups and downs of their narrow Coast Range route. Our trip to explore Larry's old stompin' grounds in Powers ended short of the destination, due to the tentative grasp of the bikers to the edge of the road versus the girth of our casa on wheels. We erred on the side of caution for the safety and well-being of all concerned. Back to Bandon and south on Highway 101, we were treated to more scenic eye candy! Rocky monoliths standing their ground against the watery force of the ocean waves; man-made monoliths created to span the rivers leading to the mother-sea; sentinels atop jutting capes equipped with warning beacons and horns to alert the unsuspecting mariners of the danger lurking where land and sea collide.
Our day's journey ended in Brookings, just north of the border. Tomorrow, we anticipate a day among the Sequoias - the remnants of coastal forests of Redwoods.
It is initially difficult for me to break away from my daily routine at home....but I am not sorry once we are on the road! There is so much to explore!
