Only a few days of Oregon left!

As Matt said we're in Bandon, a tidy little community with a working marina. We are going to stay on through tomorrow and try to do some busking here. The campground is just 2 miles away, though there is a narrow (but short) bridge to cross. The ride into town leaves busy hwy 101 and meanders into town, skirting a marsh area. Yesterday we munched on fish and chips and fish tacos right on the water, yum!

We were able to savor the bounty of Oregon's fruit and veggies in Roseburg--we went to a u-pick orchard with dozens of varieties of apples, figs, pears, and prunes. The owner suggested an apple that was green outside but a gorgeous shade of pink on the inside. The tomatoes are just hitting the bountiful stage and we had about the best salsa ever, plus fresh sliced with eggs. We passed so many little farms for sale on the way back to the coast, and had a good time dreaming about owning them. Highway 38 from Reedsport to Elkton has been probably our favorite ride so far.
