Up the Pacific Coast Day 3 Saturday September 8, 2018

Today starts in Eureka, California
And finishes in Reedsport, Oregon

Places Visited Along The Way, Photos, and Notes
As I left Eureka, CA, the sky was bright and clear
the temperature was about 62, and I was feeling good
"O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay"

There is a point north of McKinleyville where,
as you crest a hill, you get first glimpse of the ocean
Trinidad Post Office, 357 Main St

Along the Humbold Lagoons
the fog reared it's head, but remained off shore all day
 
The Orick Post Office is right on the highway
As I walked around behind to water a tree, I discovered
the Orick community hall, who knew?
The Klamath Post Office is actually on the
Yurok Indian Reservation
along with the tribe's casino
In Crescent City I got photos for
Del Norte County Courthouse, 450 H St
and for the Redwood National Park

The Brookings post office is not only tough to get to,
but is not proud enough to put the city name on the wall
If I remember correctly, Port Orford, has this
National Forrest ranger station

I will research this to make sure of the city
Bandon, right on the coast, has a nice beach boardwalk and marina


 
 Bandon had lots of festivities happening there on a sunny, summer Saturday
a farmers' market, a live music festival,

and an antique and hot-rod car gathering

 There is a plastic polution museum where they make
sculptures from the plastic bottles they find on the beach
Coos Bay
Highway 101 HD Dealer, 536 S 2nd St

This dealership's motto is "As West As It Gets"
In Reedsport, I found the
Douglas County Courthouse Annex and
I wanted to be doubly sure of a county "D" letter

and bedded down at Best Western Salbasgeon Inn & Suites
    I may definitely encounter rain tomorrow
and must re-think the route for days to come
Also, the Delta Fire north of Redding has 45 miles of I-5 closed
so I might have trouble coming through and getting home
unless they make fantastic progress in the next few days
Ridden miles for the day 255

The Route Today

I'd like to hear from you
