We made it through our second night with more blankets and were much warmer. Magnus seemed to have the best sleep out of all of us. We packed up camp and were on our way again. We headed west to the ocean and a place called Face Rock in Bandon, OR. There were a lot of odd rock formations and sea stacks. And the weather was a bit overcast, but not rainy.
This rock is called Wizard Hat. Ruth saw a picture of it on Pinterest that made her want to see, so we went.
Magnus enjoyed walking along the water:
Cathedral Rock had several tunnels running through it. If not for the tide it would have been fun to explore it more.
Another odd rock and us in a rock tunnel:
It was fun to run around on the beach.
Here is Face Rock. Can you see the face?
The Cat and Kittens and some others:
We stopped at a Myrtlewood Shop in Coos Bay. It is a unique tree that only grows along the southern Oregon coast and near Israel. It makes very beautiful wood with lots of rings in it. The shop had lots of cool carvings to see.
The other thing that section of the coast is know for is the Oregon Dunes. We decided to stop and play on them for awhile. Can you see Dana on top of the Dune?
Magnus loved the sand:
I even found this little caterpillar that lived on the dunes and dug into the sand
Our last stop was at Darlingtonia Botanical Wayside, just north of Florence. It is a bog in which the carnivorous Cobra Lilies (pitcher plants) can be found. It was pretty cool to see so many in one place and in the wild.
And thank you to Grandpa Ivan for letting us stay with him in Salem, and making us delicious pancakes.
