A little carving on the boardwalk. There is a bathroom right across from this statue which may be too much information but it's good to know!

You can't miss Old Town in Bandon, because you almost drive straight into it off Hwy 101.

Picture of building in Old Town although I'm not sure how old this building is. There is a little walking map and plaques on some of the buildings

This is the old schoolhouse built in 1904 and now the museum. It's a very nice museum on the outskirts of old town.

Salmon fishing is huge here and many people book a fishing trip. In this case, the owner of the boat was filleting and bagging the salmon right on his boat.

Right across the street is Homegrown. We had started to walk into town and asked some locals where to go and they said go to Hometown, it's right across from the museum. There is the standard Mo's down at the marina but we enjoyed our lunch.Bee

Beer it forward! What a great idea. It may be hard to see but Mr. Perry gave a beer to Scott, Terra gave one to John and Hannah. I'm guessing the people at the restaurant know who some of these people are.

After a while, it's a mile trail, we come to a little pond and are looking for critters, but don't see any, then we saw an osprey which was pretty cool.

We've been told we can walk to the beach from our campsite so we head out on the trail. It's a very nice trail but it's sand which is odd because it seems like we are in the forest?

We've had the most beautiful weather driving down the coast. This is our view from Site 15 in the afternoon. The group next to us are musicians and they play for a large part of the night, banjo, mandolin, 2 guitars and a ukulele. Great fun. We had stars...and then it clouded up.

Once in the parking lot, I realize that you have to walk...up hill...both ways, to get to the lighthouse! You can see the light keeper's house. So I have to decide whether or not I'm going to walk it. I walk it.

Looking down on the beach from the lighthouse. You can see that the Oregon Coast is rounder, taller cliffs, the forest doesn't come right down to the beach like in Washington. Maybe at some places?

Just before crossing this bridge, the Cape Creek Bridge, you drive down to the beach for access to the lighthouse.
