Just as Punxsutawney has numerous colorful groundhog statues throughout the town, Florence is filled with decorated seals. So, as we were leaving, we passed one near the bridge across the Siuslaw River.
We soon entered the Oregon Dunes.
Miles and miles and miles of REALLY HIGH sandy hills that looked strikingly odd next to the forest.
When we saw one that came right to the road we were on, Glen decided to scale it.
Once we got to the top, there was a lake, more sand, and more trees.
No coast for the rest of the day, but many gorgeous trees and lakes.
We stopped for lunch in Reedsport, where we were welcomed by everyone’s favorite bear.
We’ve had so many special days this week so far: bicycle day, Hobie’s birthday, and, as we learned at the Sugar Shack, today was National Donut Day.
After lunch, we mailed some postcards.
There wasn’t much to do in Winchester Bay, other than seeing our third bald eagle of the trip, but we had fresh-caught albacore tuna for dinner!
