On our way to Coos Bay

Next stop: Coos Bay and the Mill Casino where the FMCA northwest regional rally is being held. Coos Bay is a short hop from Winchester Bay, so it didn't take very long to drive the 20-some miles. 
The drive was pretty.  Here is what we saw - water, trees in abundance, and hills.... and eventually, sandy dunes, for which the Oregon coast is famous.


This striking bridge took as across the bay. 



Coos Bay is located just a few miles beyond North Bend. We could see the casino as we rounded a corner along Route 101.  Logging is still a major industry here, and the Mill Casino is appropriately named.



 We fell in line, and were ushered to our spot in the dry camping area, arriving with dozens of other coaches and RV's.  This will be our home for the next several days as we experience our first northwest regional FMCA rally.
