September 3-6: Back on the Coast in Florence, Oregon

Ah, the Oregon Coast. It’s a wonderful place to be during the late summer. We had an easy and familiar drive, leaving Keizer after fueling up, heading south on I-5 to Eugene. No need to stop for repairs in Coburg/Harrisburg this time! Looping west around Eugene on the “Beltway”, we picked up OR-126 out to the coast in Florence.

Within minutes, we were parked at the local Elks Lodge. The antler-topped totem in their parking area always intrigues me.





Breaking from our travel plan for this summer, this was the first of several 3-4 day stops as we begin our trek south into autumn. We didn’t have a lot planned and we met our own expectations. A little Fred Meyer shopping, some nice walks around the block with the pups, and maybe a nap or two were the highlights. All in all, this was another nice, familiar, and relaxing stop.
