It's a pretty cool place to look around. We spent a few hours there. The house is clearly haunted. Lol

Battle Rock Wayfinding Point

Lovely spot for a leg-stretcher right as you come into town at Port Orford. There's a decent sized…read moreparking lot, as well as restrooms, benches, and informational signs about the history of the area. It definitely has the feel of rest area, but with access down to the beach below. We considered climbing up but the access up and over the driftwood was a bit too precarious for us older humans. It was fun to walk through the rock tunnel though.

I stumbled upon Battle Rock Wayfinding Point while driving Highway 101 south through Port Orford,…read moreOregon. The view from the road of the beach coastline seemed pretty promising and since I was in no rush, figured why not stop and check this place out. For 9am in early August, the parking lot was half empty. I noticed people had their surfboards and boogey boards ready to go out in the waters. According to one of the entrance signs, Battle Rock said it's a city park but also a historic memorial "dedicated in memory of the ancient people and pioneer founders of the townsite". It was a quiet Sunday morning without a cloud in the sky and ideal for strolling the beach shores. This was a good opportunity to do some quality reflecting while taking a break from driving. The beach had a calming setting with moments to take photos of those vintage Oregon rocks protruding up from the ground. I would say though compared to the many vista point lookouts along Highway 101, this Battle Rock Park was just okay within the bigger picture of it all. I used 45 minutes walking the beach shores and soaking up the fresh air. It is free to stop on by here and explore. I noticed a Visitor Center next to the parking lot. It was closed unfortunately. And that's really it. Lastly, if I can say anything else, this Battle Rock Wayfinding Point is 13 miles north of the next roadside stop on my itinerary - Sisters Rock - a short trail to hike for terrific perspectives of Oregon's grand coastline.

I took a hard left after seeing the sign to this secluded beach along Oregon's beautiful coast…read moreline, my QX80 handled the steep grades of loose gravel just fine after finding the far left side of the road offered a much smoother ride as I whipped it around the switch backs to the tiny parking lot, almost proud of my off-road excursion only to find a few nimble cars and motorcycles had taken the same route without issue - I guess the sign suggesting four wheeled drive vehicles beyond a certain point is somewhat overstated - but I did enjoy the ride down even though my embellishment was only in my head. Once you park it's a fairly short hike down a well marked path, you may be tempted to take in all the scenery from the small park at the top but believe me the awesomeness will meet you at the waters edge. There's a small creek dividing the open area at the bottom of the trail it's a cake walk to cross it and if you've come this far you have to find a way to cross it, its about thirty feet wide but on this day it was merely a few inches deep, of course if there's a flash flood warning when you visit then your story may differ from mine. The sand is mostly silty in and around the creek but loosens up as your approach the water. As you stand amongst the giant rocks the waves atomizes the cool ocean water as it crashes into the rocks gently misting you with its salty spray, today the weather was quite warm so it was a welcoming anointment. The drift wood and rugged terrain is prehistoric and it's easy to imagine the Jurassic world when you stand so close to creation. The relentlessness of the ocean is almost deafening as the waves march ashore but yet it's a tranquil paradise filled with life forms that dance in the foam and tidal pools. If you can't find your sanity here all may be lost...

We drove through this rather large coastal city while on our way to visit family in Charleston, OR…read morefor the weekend. It's known as Oregon's 'Bay Area', and it definitely has that feel with hills and all. Coos Bay is a major port for maritime commerce, namely lumber. Population is over 15,000. It's home to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and hometown of iconic runner Steve Prefontaine. It offers natural beauty for outdoor adventures at Shore Acres State Park and Sunset Bay State Park. There's plenty of hiking and storm watching opportunities. Golden and Silver Falls are popular hiking destinations. If you're a gambler, the Mill Casino is also a popular destination offering lodging at their hotel and RV park. Visit the Marshfield District for shops, restaurants, galleries, historic buildings, museums and theaters. And don't forget the fresh seafood abound. One of our favorite things while driving along highway 101. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping to take in what this coastal city has to offer!

The history of Coos Bay dates back to the days of Lewis and Clark. One of the most famous…read moreresidents, Coos Bay was the birth place of Steve Prefointaine. People come from around the world to participate in the memorial race that was set up in his memory. But, what is Coos Bay known for today, first, world class golf (not my thing), but they are known for it. Second, the sand dunes. The Umpqua Dunes in northern Coos County are the widest and highest in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. This section of dunes is closed to off-highway vehicles, so hikers love them. Whether you are looking for hiking, beach exploring, mountain biking, sea lion watching .... it's all within a short distance of Coos Bay. Kind of the hub for the Oregon Coast if you are in the middle region of the state.

Beautiful bridge spanning the mighty Rogue River in Gold Beach, Oregon. www.Bridgehuter.com noted…read morethis structure was "constructed with the Freyssinet method of arch ring decentering and stress control, (and) named after its French inventor. The American Society of Civil Engineers designated the bridge a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1982. It was placed on the National Register of Historc Places in 2005. The success of the bridge led to the widespread use of prestressing techniques in concrete construction. The structure is dedicated to Isaac Lee Patterson, the Oregon governor who promoted its construction." The Patterson Bridge carries U.S. Route 101 across the Rogue River, near the point where the river empties into the Pacific Ocean, and connects the towns of Gold Beach and Wedderburn. Driving along Highway 101 between Medford and Grant's Pass, it is difficult not to cast an admiring glance towards the majestic bridge build in 1932 and incorporating a strong Art Deco influence. Park at the Port of Gold Beach near the Mary D. Hume shipwreck & walk the path along the river's edge. This will give you a great vantage point of the bridge and good camera angles too. Here you can drink in the beauty of the bridge up close and see swallows building their nests under the bridge; sea lions swimming by; birds diving for fish and salmon fisherman hoping to get lucky. Due to the elements, the Rogue River Bridge has required much preventive maintenance. The bridge needs consistent mitigation due to deterioration from the location's salt air. A $20 million rehabilitation ran from 2001 to 2004. A previous project in 1976 mitigated scouring problems at pier 2. Here's hoping this transport's beauty never fades. 5 YELP STARS.
