Florence Beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean

Hello everyone from cool Oregon.  Today we drove about an hour out of Eugene to see the wonderful Oregon Coast.  In the picture are Sean and his daughter Kiara building a sand castle.  The moat would not hold water. There are some six fools in the 50 degree water.  Obviously they are not at the age of majority as they are having fun.  I am not a water person so this is almost as close as I got.  I understand it is salty.

The Siuslaw River (pronounced sigh-YOU-slaw) is a river, approximately 110 miles long, along the Pacific coast of Oregon in and is just to the right of the jetty on the picture.

To get here we crossed over the bascule bridge that spans the river on US 101.  What a great highway.  Sandi & I came through here 4 years ago on our way to Bandon Dunes for a little golf.  We walked and played and shot terrible golf.  Wind and rain is not my kind of golf. 

 Tomorrow this will be more interesting.
