We goy up very early for the drive to abandon Oregon today. We left soon after 6:00. It took us a while to get out of the park. We didn't have cellular service, and the Maps App did niot describe the roads as the maps and signage did. About an hour in to our 4-hr trip to get out of Yosemite, we saw a wreck. At first we thought it was two cars. We slowed way down and offered to send for help as soon as we could get reception, but the girl in the van said no felp was needed since there was a gas station just a little bit down the road. Later,thinking about it,MIT wasrobably a 1-car accident, and they had probably hit an animal. Whenever a bear is hit in the park, they put up one of thee signs:
The car was really bashed on one side. Even the wheels were twisted. It was perpendicular to the road, completely blocking that side of the road. I'll bet traffic was a real mess really quickly. Thankfully no one appeared to be hurt.
As every day has been, today was full of all kinds of scenery, and it was all BIG! We saw corn fields, grape vines and even olive trees!
Pics to be added....
A big surprise bonus was in store. Highway 101 goes right THROUGH the Redwood Forest!
I ran the batteries down again (fourth time) so we stopped for some. The cashier was so unbelievably rude ... Not just to us, but to everyone! If that's the only help they can hire, that's sad. Oh well. Made the pit stop, got batteries and a HoHo snack.
We arrived in Bandon about 7:30. We checked in and Brendon showed us every place in the complex on the map, then gave me of the Old Town, then pointed out more suggestions on both! We finally got away, delivered our bags to the room and headed over to the pub for dinner. I think that was the tastiest food I've ever had. Yum, yum, yum!
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes for John
Rockfish, butternut squash with toasted hazelnuts, and fresh Brussels sprouts for Genie.
Okay, so, this room. Brendon said he was giving us an exquisite room, and exquisite it is. It's the only room with a balcony. The balcony overlooks part of one of the golf courses. Windows floor to ceiling on two sides. A bathroom as large as a bedroom with jacuzzi, too.
Picture.......
I think with this new Blogsy app I can go ahead and post this, and come back to it later to add pictures and edit. I sure hope so!
We're mighty excited for tomorrow. Several of John's friends have played here, but he had to stay home. Now he gets his chance to play two of the courses.
And, John III flies in to Portland tomorrow. We won't get there till really late, but it will sure be good to see him.
