FLORENCE, Oregon. I chose Florence as the place to hangout and spend some time idling in order to keep out of the inland heat. I am really missing family, and now that the Boys and I are so close it’s hard not to just make a dash south and east into Cali; only about five hours away!!! But the heat. And another fire near Redding, this one north of the city, makes me listen to reason and just kick back for a time.
Not a ton of things to do here, but there is beach access in a couple of places. Great sea food at Mo’s. Pretty Oregon scenery all around. But one of my favorite places is the marina in the Old Town section of Florence. Watching this cormorant dive for his dinner was fun . . .
These super petunias lining the boardwalk are so pretty…
And it’s beginning to look a lot like autumn
A ride on Hwy 36 along a fork of the Siuslaw near Swisshome shows just how parched the Oregon Coast is. This river is so low! I find the flat rocks showing in the riverbed interesting. I know, I’m a rock freak. LOL
Thanks for stopping by 2Dogs! Hugs, Shawna
I have been there but it has been a very long time…Kids were kids vs adults I think we made the trip with an old Bronco and beat up camp trailer we had gotten and fixed up..Lots of fun for the 6 of us, crowded and makeshift but memory making…Glad you are close..Take care and next week is promising to be cool with rain monday and maybe tuesday.

Really, Barb? You didn’t think I was anxious to see everyone? Florence was an awesome place to be, and yes very relaxing. Hugs to you and Leland.
