Florence, Oregon

After such a long stretch of intense traveling and touring, Dan and I were both pretty road-weary and looking for a place to light down for a couple of weeks before heading to the Sacramento area. Having been to Florence, Oregon in the past, we agreed this would be the perfect place to hang out for some recuperative rest and relaxation. Florence is located on the Oregon coast at the mouth of the Siuslaw River, and is within striking distance of the Heceta Head Lighthouse, Sea Lion Caves, and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. We took the opportunity to visit all these places, as well as explore the quaint downtown area and take slow strolls along the beach. Florence was the perfect place to regroup from an extended spate of road travel.
