Day 27 Face Rock, Oregon coast

After the not too good day yesterday, today was a fantastic one. The first picture was sunset beach across the road from the campground. From there is was go north back to highway 101, or continue south on a dead end road. We knew that there was a lighthouse out there so south it was. We were sure in for a shock because at the end of the road we discovered 100's of sea lions. It was great watching and taking pictures of all of them. A little further down the road we seen gray whales, or I should say " Barb seen them first". They were spouting water, but they didn't come out of water too far. We had one sorta good whale picture but it didn't make the blog. We had so many good pictures of the scenery, it was hard to decide. In another picture if you look for it you will see a face. It is called Face Rock. The last picture is of our great campground called Arizona beach campground. That is where we are camped tonight.

Day 26 Coos Bay, Oregon

This post comes a little late. Last night we had no internet access. Yesterday started out great, it wasn't rainging for a change and we took a hike on one of the tallest sand dunes in Oregon. After that we headed south for Coos Bay where there was a Walmart. We needed to resupply. Walmarts are very rare so we have to try to hit the cities where we know they are. We couldn't find it. Finally went to information center. We found out where Walmart was and in the process the women talked us into going to myrtlewood factory for a tour. They said that this is the only place in the U.S. that the mytlewood tree grows. They make bowls, clocks, ornaments, etc, and even golf putters. It was very interesting. After we visited Walmart we went to Sunset Bay State park for the night. By this time it had started raining hard. Set up camp, tried to set up dish for TV, no luck too many trees. Then I discovered there was no cell tower close enough, so no internet, no blog. Read a book and went to bed. I will tell you more tomorrow.
