September 24th

Yesterday we drove from Florence, OR to North Bend, OR and staying at the Mill Casino RV P;ark.  We have been by here a lot of times but never stayed here.  It is a nice park and a lot of things to do around here.  After our trip review for the next two day a lot of guest went to the Casino for dinner and playing the slots.
This morning just before I put out the coffee this is what I seen out our door.
 What a beautiful sun rise.

On Day 10 we started the morning off with a trip to the Myrtlewood Factory for a tour of there operations and gift shop.
 They split the group into two groups and one watched a video while the other went for a tour of the factory.

 this is one of there special works a putter made from Myrtle wood.
 This is a big belt sander!!!!

 Some of there equipment is run by these big wheels and belts.
 This guy is making a bowl, every bowl is hand made and each may be just a little different.

 Now if I was really into golf, I may just want to get putter like these, But for $152 plus I don't think it will help my game.
 Here are a few pictures of the gift shop.


Some one is shopping!!!!
After a couple of hours here we headed off towards the Shore Acres State Park for a lunch break prepared by the staff.  Everyone got a great sack lunch.
 Some of them found picnic tables and others went for the view.

 This is the view we had while eating lunch.

 Some of us were dressed for the cold and others were dressed for the warmer weather.


This rock was just below the surface and created some neat wave action.
Everyone enjoyed the lunch spot and the view.
Our next stop was the Botanic gardens.
If you are here in the December time frame they put on a great light show in this garden.




There are a lot of beautiful flower beds through out these gardens, these are just a few of the flowers i took.
We had one more stop on the Scenic Drive along Cape Arago.
 We could hear this guys from 2 miles away, there has to be a thousand of them around here.

 This guy must be king of the mountain.

We had a great day the weather was amazing, we could not ask for a better day.  TOmorrow we head towards Gold Beach.
