Drive to North Bend, OR

Saturday, we headed south to check out North Bend.  Bob and JoAnn drove north to see the scenic area we had passed up.   We had already seen that area so we planned to meet later that evening for dinner.   We had a 50 mile drive and enjoyed the scenery.   I did not feel real well so I did not take too many pictures.   We got back to the Coach and I went to sleep.   My stomach had been upset all day and finally threw everything up and after a couple of hours of rest, felt better. 

There are many bikers out with back packs.  I think they are going camping since there are so many parks in all of this area.   They have beautiful parks and lakes, beaches and rivers.   This guy is taking his puppy!

Today, Sunday, we made plans with Bob and JoAnn to visit the Florence Historic District, have lunch at the Bliss Hot Rod Grill, then drive about 50 miles to North Bend and spend the night at The Mill Casino.  This will be our last evening together as we will head toward California and they will visit a niece in Grants Pass.

We had been seen these antique cars all weekend.   As we arrived in the downtown area, they were all displayed here.
