      The Course, of course

      March 31 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      The course (we are playing the picturesque Sheep Ranch) was a wee bit windy. Penny shot a 100 in these conditions. I was happy with several pars, and an 89 on my score card. Ran into 3 Mulligans... must have been a family reunion of the Mulligan clan!Read more

      Rain Check!

      March 10 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 8 °C

      We were asked to pay for our golf and take a voucher in return. It is our new plan now to drop by Bandon Dunes on our way home. The golf course is spectacular and we truly want to add this course to the growing list of top 50 golf courses in the world that we have played! If we are not lucky... Keegan will be, as we are more than happy to pass the voucher on to Keegan in our wills.Read more

      Bandon Dunes Oregon

      March 9 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 9 °C

      Arrived in Bandon. Headed to the golf course: Bandon Dunes. Exceptional Golf property! We were welcomed by a thoughtful card from our son Keegan..... plus two sleeves of ProV's and a lovely bottle of wine. Regretably the weather scotched our golf game .....very cold, very windy and, most importantly sideways flying rain.Read more

      Bandon Beach

      September 18, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Gemütlich frühstücken wir heute um 8.00 Uhr in unserer schönen Unterkunft. Dann lesen und schlafen wir noch einmal, denn unser Ausflug startet heute erst um 14.30 Uhr.

      Wir fahren nämlich 1h50 zum Bandon Beach (haben gestern Abend nachgeschaut, wann die Ebbe ihren Tiefpunkt erreicht). Dort ist es sehr windig und bewölkt. Dennoch ist die Stimmung wunderschön. Speziell finden wir es, dem Strand entlang zu laufen. Immer wieder stossen wir auf lebendige und tote Tiere sowie Muscheln und Korallen. Leider sehen wir aber keine Seehunde.
      Die verschiedenen Gesteinsformationen sind beeindruckend.
      Fast zwei Stunden verbringen wir am Strand und essen dort auch unser mitgebrachtes Znacht, bevor es wieder zurück nach Roseburg geht.

      North Bend 101

      April 1, 2019 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

      Es geht in Richtung Süden, so weit bis ich für den heutigen Tag keine Lust mehr habe. North Bend ist dabei heraus gekommen. Sieht meiner Meinung nach aus wie jede andere Stadt hier. Draußen vor der Tür tröpfelte es die ganze Zeit und es hörte bis zum Nachmittag auch nicht wieder auf. Meine "schicke" orangene Jacke hielt mich trocken. Wenn ich gekonnt hätte, hätte ich meine Schuhe heute Abend ausgewrungen, mit den Socken ging das. Ich kam jedenfalls nicht ins Schwitzen.
      Ich durfte den kleinsten Hafen der Welt bewundern, schön gelegene Häuser betrachten und mich über eine feuchte Strasse freuen, die mir ihren Dreck abgab. Kurz nach dem letzten Foto stellte ich fest, dass mein 6. Reifenwechsel anstand. Mittlerweile bin ich routiniert und habe den Schlauch im Regen mit fast lethargischer Ruhe gewechselt.
      Mir war kalt, und ich brauchte schnell eine warme Dusche, egal was es kostet. Nicht ganz das erstbeste Hotel, aber den Preis habe ich um 25$ gedrückt. Die Nächte sind noch frisch, deshalb muss ich solange wach bleiben, bis meine Klamotten vor der Heizung etwas trockener geworden sind.

      The Oregon Dunes

      August 7, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Yesterday's drive down from Astoria took us about five hours. It was slow going on the 101 with numerous small towns en route. However, it was also very scenic and traffic was quite light overall so it was an enjoyable drive.

      I'm sitting outside our trailer having coffee while entering this trip update. The kids enjoy sleeping in and I'm fine with that. Gives me a bit of time to wake slowly, enjoy my coffee and just relax before my exercise session. I've managed most days so far to either go for a 30 min run or a bike ride before the kids get up and before breakfast.

      Today, we are scheduled to rent 250cc ATV's and ride the Dunes. I'll let you know how that goes later today. I've got FIDO until about 4 pm and then only very limited WIFI.

      So, we got out with the ATV's and roamed the Dunes. It was a perfect day for it with no winds to create sand storms and a very comfortable temperature. It took the first half hour to get the hang of it and how now to get stuck, but with the help of other, very friendly and experienced ATV'ers we learned. We had a lot of fun and only Emma got thrown off her ATV. She took a turn a bit too quick. Soft landing and she was good to keep going.

      Day 12 - Bye California, Hello Oregon

      September 19, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      We left our Super 8 motel early as it was a long drive today. Nearly 8 hours, or a whole page and a bit of the USA A-Z!

      The first stretch included the final miles of the Highway 1 North, a road we became acquainted with all the way back on Day 3. Even for this last section Alice and I thought there was enough scenic beauty to warrant it a favourite on this Highway. This might also have something to do with the weather as it has been all sunshine since San Francisco.

      Highway 101 was next and it took us straight into bendy interior roads with tight hairpin corners. This then led into two options, a continuation of the Highway 101 on open straight roads or the 'Avenue of the Giants' which was the old bendy road with huge redwood trees. We took the scenic route and we're glad we did as the trees lining the road are ridiculously large. This area has one of the biggest trees in the world but that would require a short hike. Our aim for today was still a long way off and so we continued on. We are on Day 12 of 90 and we have only really seen California and some of Nevada so far. We better get a move on if we're going to do this loop!

      After the trees we saw the wood... of the log cabin infused theme of Applebee's, an all American dining experience. It also reminded me of the 'Harvester' chain in the UK, minus the free salad, and it reminded Alice of the 'Cobb'n'Co' chain in New Zealand. I had the 'streetlife chicken and cajun shrimp sizzler' and Alice had the 'won ton shrimp stirfry'. The food was very good and well priced but it was our server who capped off our lunch. When I asked for a glass of water I got his finger pointed at me in a non-threatening gun gesture followed by a wink and a 'you got it!'. I also got my coffee 'on the house' for some reason. It's been twelve days of good to excellent service so far and today we hit exceptional. He definitely deserved a recommended 18% tip. I pushed it to 20%.

      Leaving with smiles and full bellies it was not long before we hit the Oregon state line. California has been a blast and we would love to come back and discover the state further in the future. Crossing into Oregan there were still lots of trees, lakes and so forth and I thought it would take a little while for Oregon to reveal itself. On arrival at our destination, Coos Bay, a change was soon becoming apparent. Primarily the increased presence of the logging and fishery industries. However, it is still early in this picturesque state and tomorrow, more driving and revelation awaits.

      Song of the Day:
      KC and the Sunshine Band - Give It Up (heard it on the road and summed up how we felt about not getting to see everything we want to)

    • Day 63

      A Warm Shower and Crabs!

      October 4, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Our stay in Bandon was made even more comfortable by another Warmshowers experience. Brian and Nicole not only took the four of us in, but also fed us fresh crab. The only cost was that we had to go and get the crabs out of the trap on the river (and kill and clean them), and wake up very early on a Sunday morning and play with their kids. Oh, and Karl had to wear fairy wings as decided by Olivia, age 7.Read more

      101 Oregon Coast part 5

      July 3, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Jetzt fahren wir schon die letzte Etappe entlang der Küste Oregons. Wir starten wieder sehr früh, damit die kleinen Beifahrerinnen die meiste Fahrzeit über noch schlafen können. Wir frühstücken am Cape Perpetua, das mit 800ft. der höchste Punkt an der Küste ist. Dort wandern wir eine kleine Schleife mit spektakulärem Blick und süßen Squirrels. Am Heceta Lighthouse schauen wir Surfern zu und laufen ein Stück am Fluss entlang. Surfen möchten beide Mädchen auch gern können: der Seepferdchen-Plan gewinnt eine ganz neue Dimension.Read more
