Still stuck on Oregon



Southern Oregon was very nice. The place I stayed at was called Bandon. It is about 200 miles or so south of Portland. You take a small commuter plane that carries about 20 people from Portland to a city called Coos bay. You then take a car, drive 30 minutes on Interstate 101, and you are there.

A beautiful, quite town. Only about 1,500 people. Short but pleasant summer, gray, rainy, often stormy winder. What put this town on the map was the golf course called Bandon Dunes. A golf fanatic who is a greeting card mogul who bought 1,200 acres of land and hired this 20 something unknown unproven Scottish golf course architect to build a course, and now thousands visit this town, pumping millions into the economy.

The beach is undisturbed, completely absent of any humans miles of stretch at a time, huge rocks and gigantic dead tree roots tossed about on the beach, and of course many many species of birds circling around.


I would love to live in a place like this . . . . .
