Arrived at Jesse Honeyman after the last full posting (not including the Bandon post) where we stayed in a secluded old growth hiker-biker camp section. As usual, the only ones camping there. Rode a long inland route to Sunset Bay campground. Had to cross a bridge by walking our bikes because it was too narrow. Rob saw the sign, however a cop had to tell me that through his megaphone before I found out. A quick stop in North Bend for bike repairs and food before heading to our campground near the coast. The hiker-biker section was closed so we camped amidst the sounds of generators and retiree laughter.
Day 8 we awoke to some light rain and proceeded along an off-route called "seven devils." It referred to seven hills we rode over. There was alot of fog that morning and the lawn fixins consisted mainly of Winnebago's and tires. Stopped at Bandon Dunes golf resort to grab a souvenir for Greg. Took a quick look at Bullards Beach State Park before deciding to stay in the Seaside guest house in Bandon. Did some quick laundry and rested before overeating at the local Mexican restaurant.
Day 9 was a reach to Humbug State Park. Late start considering no camp to break down. Pit stop at Coquille River jetty, across river from the lighthouse in the pic below. Mostly inland route until Port Orford. Rest (up a steep hill) at Port Orford Head State Park for some bangin views of the Ocean and rugged coast below. Nice camp at Humbug State Park. First warm, clear night so canned to tent fly. Lead to a paranoid sleep for Dr. Robert, spending most of his night awake listening to the woodland creatures.
Day 10 was a trip to our last stop in Oregon, just north of Brookings at Harris Beach State Park. Although a beautiful day (rode first day in shorts), team opted for a yurt (Year-round universal recreation tent). Pics below. Nice sleepy time for the good doctor after going almost sleepless the night before. Made camp early enough for a ride around Brookings. Only led to acquiring fried delicacies of chicken and taters. Beer. 10 miles to Cali border the next AM.
