Day Four Coos Bay Oregon to Prineville Oregon 251 miles
The grab and go breakfast this morning was a can of juice, a small yogurt and an apple. Pretty light meal. Patches of fog are around the area. Sometimes fairly thick. It was interesting around the bridge. We drove out of it before too long,
.As soon as we turned away from the coast the temperature began to rise. Little by little we opened windows and removed jackets and opened the air conditioning. Now air conditioning on the woodie means opening the windshield a couple of inches so air blows down on your feet. It really does help.
We followed the McKenzie River for quite a ways. It has lots of water currently. Lots of cars are parked at trail heads and other recreational places.
We only had two minor delays for road construction. That’s quite good for this time of year. We encountered several other places that could use some help.
The first wildlife sighting was today when a deer went bouncing through the field next to the road. It was going about the same speed as we were.
Traffic today was heavier than it has been. Luckily the road had frequent passing lanes. As many as twenty cars would pass and another twenty were ready to go.
The town of Sisters Oregon was very busy. Every parking place was taken and the main street was bumper to bumper. Nothing special going on that we knew of.
We got to Prineville about 4:30. Tonight is opening night of the rodeo. Luckily we got a room. As we were leaving for supper we saw two deer near the hotel.
