Day 19 -- Oregon Coast

Lazy beginning to this day. Have finally stopped for breakfast in Florence. Have made numerous stops for photo ops -- hope at least some of them turn out. Will drive all day and possibly stay in Reedsport. Too soon...kept on driving. Was able to see this awesome seal family up close thanks to some people who had set up their personal telescopes om Simpson Reef. It was purely an accident that I arrived here...once again, I took a wrong turn. The Oregon Coast is beautiful but all those Tsunami Hazard Zone signs made me a little nervous...would hate to live with that thought! Was going to stay in Coos Bay but couldn't bring myself to pay $70 for a Motel 6!!!! Ended up in Winston ( wouldn't advise) but if I ever choose to write a story, the folks in this place would make excellent characters! The setting would have to be a poor community without much to offer. Will be back to the interstate in the morning on my way to Ashland.
