Florence to North Bend

It was just a transportation day today, heading inland a bit, with dunes between the road and the ocean. It was a relatively low energy day for me, so I decided to stop in North Bend for a hotel and laundromat.

The scenic route from here starts with some serious hills, and I'd rather tackle them in the morning when I'm fresh - not at the end of the day. It looks like rain, too.



The woman at the Chamber of Commerce office in Reedsport said the road south of Bandon is really pretty. So far, the prettiest stretch was between Newport and Florence.
