Florence to Charleston, OR

This post is for wednesday - no cell service last night so I had to post this a day late. 55 mile day along some beautiful coastline. Had a nice headwind in the morning and probably for at least 90% of the day. We passed huge sand dunes along the beach. In places the dunes appeared to have trapped water and created lakes which were only separated from the ocean by the dunes. In North Bend, OR we crossed a bridge across Coos Bay and we were hit with amazingly strong winds. Camped in the hiker/biker site at Sunset State park with at least 10 other bikers. We are seeing a lot of the same people each night who are heading south. One couple were riding a tandem and heading north. I think they were the first touring cyclists we have seen who were heading north along the coast. Below is a picture of a drive thru espresso stand. We have seen these everywhere in the northwest.
