Day #-13: Bandon to Port Orford (28 mi)

We hadn’t been riding for half a mile when we spied an unassuming sign on the side of the road.

In reality, the sign should have said

We watched a pickup truck drive through the water and it was at least a foot deep. So, we turned around and got out to 101 a different way.

While we were still in Bandon, the cranberry capital of Oregon, we passed a well-known company.

Ocean Spray!

At the Art101 studio, we met a dragon made of all sorts of interesting items.

Notice all the spatulas and serving utensils on his wings

We stopped for lunch here

where we had the obvious thing

While we were enjoying our hot dog, a big-rig driver asked us when the rest of our group was going to join us. Unbeknowst to us, a large group of cyclists were behind us for much of the day. They’re going from Seattle to San Diego to raise money for a charity. They passed us while we finished our lunch.

Just outside of Port Orford, we reached a milestone (har har, pun intended).

Since we had the afternoon free, we visited a store that sold items made of myrtlewood, which only grows here and in Israel. And, Glen checked out Battle Rock.
