Sept 14, 2021 Had breakfast near our motel. It looked like a country weatern bar with a big dance floor. The were several that were drinking their breakfast. After leaving Waldport we got a good look at the bridge we crossed the previous day. It spans the Alsea river. We got to the cute little town of Yachats and stopped at the market to pick up some fruit for lunch. We had eaten here 2 months ago and got an ahi sanwhich that had what seemed like a pound ahi steak and reasonably priced. But this this time we had just had a meal 12 miles ago. This stretch of the coast is a lot like big Sur with nice beaches interpersed with high cliffs. At heceta head there is beautiful lighthouse and keepers house above a nice beach. We had a short tunnel to go thru but it wasn't that bad. Turned the flashing light on and put the bike in turbo and you're thru. There were some narrow stretches but for the most part people were careful except for some diesel pushers didnt want give up any lane. After the head there was about 10 miles of rolling boring road till we got to Florence which is4 a long drawn out town. Our lodging is a funky 50s motel but it's

near old town so we can walk to meals. When Johanna first saw it she was skeptical but she softened. It called the Lighthouse Motel if you want to google it. We are taking a zero day tomorrow and probably go beach walking. We started this venture wihout much distance base and our butts weren't really ready.
