Roadtrip Day 1

COOS BAY, OREGON -- Today consisted of the first day of the first roadtrip. I'm in a small town on the coast of Oregon, just off 101. Today, I saw and did some interesting things:

0) Was physically unable to wake up before 9:30am. Managed to make it out the door by 10:45am.
1) Drove through a hole in a Redwood tree.
2) Did not drive on a single interstate.
3) Almost ran out of gas in Mendocino county.
4) Experienced the Marine Layer firsthand all the way up highway 1 and 101.
5) Found a room for 38$ a night in Coos Bay, Oregon, which was once the largest lumber port in the world. It's largest industry now is shipping wood chips to Asia that is then used make cheap paper.
6) Found a number of cool towns to visit again. Most notably, Eureka and Westport. Both in N CA. Eureka had some great old Victorian homes and offices that are very well preserved.

I'll likely hit Vancouver tomorrow night after another 500 mile day. :D
