Southern Oregon

After a few nights at Valley of the Rogue State Park (where it was hot!), we headed to the beaches of southern Oregon. Maureen Haggerty, my sister Kathy's life long friend, built a home there a few years ago and enjoys the beauty of the area every day. We had cool, sunny afternoons to walk on the beach.


One afternoon we took a drive to Port Orford where we saw whales in the bay, then had lunch on the fishing pier. Here's Gene in front of the seafood restaurant at Port Orford.


There is no deep water harbor at Port Orford. When the fishing boats return to the pier, they are lifted out of the water and put onto their boat trailers. It's a fun operation to watch.


The beach and rocks at Bandon are as beautiful as any in the world.


A perfect day to horseback ride on the beach.
