leavin' my Home State

out of state, out of mind
Heading south on Hwy 101,
As you first get to Florence, at 37th & Hwy 101 is Kathleen and Nina's, two sisters.
Speaking of pies, they make great pies, two charming caring people, Dad's there,too. Opened two years ago on May 11th. Regular breakfast, at the right price, I drink all the milk they had, and they charged me $.25, money can't buy the love like here. Someone called while I was there, wondering what pies they were making that day. Coconut Cream was the request. The pie maker here has the cleanest hands around.
Stopped in Bandon, looking to post this blog. The Bandon Creamery is gone, Tillamook bought them out, fired the help and left town. Now I know why Tillamook smelled the way it did.
Good eats here, Wild Rose Cafe and cranberry everything. Great golf, too. Pricey!
Port Orford, only port in the US with an anti-Patriot resolution, as well as the town, too.
Stopped at the Wild Winds Cafe, 10 till 2pm, closes at 2pm, they said they are cleaning, they let me sit awhile longer. Thx! The owners daugther and I talked about wandering.
Lots of folks here, trying to make it, in an isolated areas while it's getting tougher for the working poor to survive.
Down past the Rouge River, Gold Beach to Brookings. Gas has been about $2.99, Brooking $3.07.
Into California, pass Cresent City, Patriot Gas regular only $3.49, ain't that patriotic.
Into the Del Norte Redwoods, was at 65mpg, till that last hill.
Camping in Del Norte Coast Redwood SP, Mill Creek, 2nd growth redwoods, all the old-growth has been cut down, only 4% remain in the world. I believe we need timber, just not old-growth, is there hope for our forests? Do you have a plan?63.9 mpg, 209.9 miles traveled
