Port Orford to North Bend – 86.34 kms

Sunday May 31, 215

My friend Celeste is concerned about some of the places we stay and bed bugs. How about slugs on your pillow!! I woke in the night and felt a wet “thing” on my pillow. Surprisingly I did not scream, I got up took my pillow outside of the cabin, noticed the black slug on the pillow case, removed the pillow from the pillowcase and went back into the cabin. Of course I had disturbed Ralf’s sleep and he asked very sleepily what I was doing, I told him I had a slug on my pillow. He didn’t scream either, he assumed I was dreaming. Next morning when he checked the pillowcase, there was the tell-tale signs of slug snot on my pillow case.

Woke up to sunny skies, but by the time we were leaving the sea fog had rolled in and we were cycling in cool temperatures and fog.  Despite the weather it was a nice ride.  We passed through this small Town and had to take a photo of the Greasy Spoon Cafe, the smell emanating from the cafe indicated why it was called the greasy spoon.

The next small Town had a couple of woodworking stores.

At the back of the store Ralf spotted this nice little red number (needs a bit of work), I thought it might be a TR4, but I am not sure.

\"What

We had one big hill to climb, but the view at the top was worth it

\"View

We came into Coos Bay which is a large lumber Town, lots of lumber mills and mountains of wood chip.

We had lunch and then headed out to North Bend, an adjacent Town which is also predominantly lumber.  Spotted this Train museum on the way to North Bend, only open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

We decided to stay in a motel although it was warm and sunny when we finished at 3:00. The forecast is for rain tonight and tomorrow.

    • Surprisingly, we haven’t seen too many spiders. We did see a couple of Golden Orb (poisonous) spiders in Australia, but I stayed well away from them.
