9/22 (SUN) FLORENCE TO COOS BAY, OR 46 MILES

Phone rings at 7:00-Lynn wants us to unlock bathroom door.  Turns out that Jean had locked the door from their side-needed to get up anyway.  Coast yesterday-forest, mountains, head winds, rain today!!  Did pass some sand dunes.  Stop at 20 m for pancakes-needed a rest.  Wind is picking up-long bridge (over 1 m) going into Bend.  After almost getting run over-decide to walk across bridge.  Stop at information center rt after bridge.  Lynn calls-they’re at bridge-told them we walked.  Starts to rain harder-they decide not to cross & spend night at motel there.  We spend over 1 hr w/Diane-she works 7 days a week-special needs bus driver during week & infor desk on week ends.  Still raining-bike to Motel 6 ($55)-pass a casino.  Can order pizza or find out that casino will send car to pick us up.  Have wonderful meal -overlooking rough water.  Each lose $10 gambling-get desserts & go back to Motel 6.  Suppose to rain tomorrow–head winds expected.
