Bandon, 2017

 We stopped at an Elk Refuge in Reedsport on the way to Bandon. It's not often you see this many bulls together.
 Bandon is another one of our favorite camping sites on the Oregon Coast. Our oldest son Will and his family camped with us this time. Here they are setting up tents.
 Beautiful Bandon Beach

 Some people forgot to bring coats, so towel capes came to the rescue :-).

 A nearby beach
 Henry is a fish made of beach litter. There is a wonderful museum in Bandon featuring many sculptures made of litter. It is a place to educate the public as to the harm this litter can do to sea life.
