Oregon Coast - South from Coos Bay to Brookings

There were too many beautiful spots to list on this drive. Here is a shot from the Coquille River Lighthouse and Bandon March NWR looking out at the North Jetty. Bullards State Beach looked like a nice place to stay but we were moving southward.

One of our favorite stops was Cape Blanco Lighthouse, a 5 mile drive west from the 101. It was incredibly windy (you could lean into the wind and be held up), and this was the awesome view up the coast:

There were countless views of rocky coastline, all the way down through Gold Beach and Brookings. RV Parks along the way were expensive, and several terrific state parks were full, so we continued on into California to the Passport America park we had found online.
