Oregon Coast

On Sunday we pointed out Winnebago south and drove the coast of Oregon. The views were great and we were having a great time until a friendly Oregon person in a Ford pickup pulling an ATV trailer decided he needed to be ahead of us as we approached a two lane bridge in Florence, Oregon. We had already pulled most of the way over when two lanes became one when he decided to pass us on the left. Problem was we were entering the bridge with oncoming traffic when he made his move. We were forced to try and move to the right to avoid a multi-car collision and ended up meeting a concrete curb with the right side of the motorhome. We ended up with some fiberglass damage, a destroyed wheel cover and a bent exhaust pipe. No chance to get license numbers and, of course, he keep going. The incident sort of spoiled our day.

We did continue to our destination at Sunset Bay State Park for the night. The scenery here is magnificent. Plus I managed to get a couple of good shots of the Cape Arago Lighthouse.

At Stimpson Reef we watched and listened to hundreds of Sea Lions on the rocks below.

The dessert for the day was watching the sun go down over Sunset Bay (wonder how it got its name).
