November 28-30, 2019 Bullards Beach State Park, Oregon

John spent the day smoking our thanksgiving turkey. It is yummy. I made cranberry sauce from these fresh, local Bandon cranberries. They are twice the size of the cranberries you buy in the supermarket. It was yummy too.  

I took a spin on my bike around the park this sunny afternoon. This is the Coquille River that runs by the park. Part of the bike path is in a tree tunnel. 

A view of the beach right off the bike path. The last two nights have been below freezing and woke up to frost on everything. 

We went on a short hike around the campground. We started at the Bullard s family cemetery. Guess that is why this is Bullards Beach park. Must have once been their land. John on the trail. The ground is covered with green moss.  

Green moss, gone by mushroom, lichen and veined lichen and lichen. Lichen,wavy mushroom, frost killed ferns and the trail we were on is the evacuation route if a tsunami comes. 

This yard had all these cool wood sculptures. A deer and a football player. Wild turkeys showed up the day after thanksgiving. yellow flowers, distillery in town makes Devil's own rum, Prowler Charters 

The marina in Bandon. Abandoned pier on the Bandon. 

Western Gull, great blue heron. wooden sea horse on the riverwalk,  boat named Knot-less, and you are here on the globe. Kite store, bigfoot keychains made out of local wood, beaded fish necklace and Cranberry sweets and more, which has lots of candy and you can taste all of it. I got a bottle of cranberry wine there.  

Washed ashore is an art gallery of art made from trash that washed up from the ocean to bring peoples awareness to all the trash in the ocean. Really cool art. John with a puffin, fish and anemone, me standing in a rib cage made from plastic bleach bottles, flip flop fish, and a sea turtle on a huge wave of plastic.  Sunset at Coquille Point with everyone else.

We went to the night of 10,000 light, Nog Walk and Cider Stroll in Bandon tonight. John and I with Santa. John and the 10,000 lights. I thought the Christmas Parade was tonight too, but it not for 2 weeks.
