Coos Bay to "island" Campground 9/18

62 miles. We left Coos bay expecting to stay in a cabin at Powers. They called and told us it was not available after all. So we had no choice but to camp. It was a lovely campground and the weather was perfect. But sleeping on the ground is still less than ideal. We were able to have a lot of food today. The continental breakfast at the hotel was nice, we had a second breakfast in Myrtle point, and lunch in Powers. About 10 miles outside of Town we were stopped by two ladies in bright yellow T-shirts. The town hosts an annual "tour De fronds"bike ride. The employees at the store had told them we were riding so they hopped in their car to give us a pen and brochure about the ride. They were very enthusiastic and told us there were

really only 3 miles that was very tough on the ride. That made us feel better until we experienced reality the next day
