We got on the road about 10:30 am for the short 80 mile trip down the coast to Florence where we will stay for the next three nights. The weather was clear, a bit windy, with the temperature in the mid-60s.
We are staying at the Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park, just south of Florence and near the north end of the Oregon Dunes. We have a nice wooded site with full hook-ups. The park is large with about 180 sites. Not all are equipped for full hook-ups but Oregon has gone out of their way to make their parks accessible to all categories of campers.
After we got set up we went into Florence's Old Town for a late lunch/early dinner. The old town is along the waterfront near the mouth of the Siuslaw River. It is now a collection of shoppes, restaurants and a riverfront dock and promenade. We decided to continue our fish and chips quest and ate lunch at Mo's a waterfront seafood restaurant. Again, the chowder and halibut were outstanding. After walking around after lunch/dinner we had an ice cream cone and began our search for a laundromat to do laundry tomorrow. We found one down the road with a unique business model. You can do your laundry and take a shower while you are waiting. We assume anyone taking a shower has clothes other than those that are drying to put on after the shower. We'll see tomorrow.
