Another day of cycling through gorgeous trees, but no spectacular coast vistas. We first encountered Charleston, where we saw Charlie the Tuna!

The best part of our ride was that we were off 101 for all but 4 miles, so mostly had the road to ourselves. Before joining 101, we reached this very helpful intersection.

Just before arriving at our final destination, Alissa found a new friend.


Since our collection of Oregon lighthouses was already incomplete, we decided to forego the 6 mile roundtrip to the Coquille River one. But we got to see it off in the distance.

We enjoyed a walk along the boardwalk, where numerous pieces of art were displayed as part of the annual art show. We also met another ocean-garbage sculpture.

We enjoyed the evening views as we headed toward our lodging.
