Sep 5, 2012 - Drive from Waldport to Bandon/Port Orford KOA

We had an enjoyable drive down the coast to Langlois,OR today. It started out cloudy but the sun came out at about Florence. We stopped at Reedsport, OR at Don's Main Street Restaurant for lunch.

Jul 20, 2010 - Floras Lake & Kayak New River

Just south of Bandon,OR is a small freshwater lake adjacent to the Pacific and separated only by a 100 yard sandbar. This lake,Floras Lake, is a favorite playground for wind surfers.

May 2, 2010 - A Great Day In The Park

Today we decided to stay another day and enjoy the park. We found out the lighthouse was open today. Took a tour of the longest working lighthouse in America. Has been lite up since 1850. The lighthouses here are a lot shorter than the East coast. Also learned the Japanese brought a sea plane on a submarine here during the war. They were told if they burned the Oregon coast, America would fold. So they dropped several Incinerator Bombs onto the coast. What they didn't count on was the coast being so wet. Within 10 Min's after the bombs...
