Touring the Oregon coast by traveling highway 101 was planned. We would set up camp, then use the car for sightseeing trips. On October 10 we left Eugene, headed west to Florence and started our journey south.
At Reedsport we followed the Umpqua River several miles east to Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area. The river drive along hwy 38 was scenic with tall trees, steep rocky cliffs, and a highway with lots of twists and turns. We were able to see some of the Roosevelt elk scattered along the river flats. Ducks, geese, and other birds also use this area as a rest stop on their migrations.
Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area Visitor Center is also located at Reedsport. The dunes extend for miles along the coast.
Our first camp was at Lakeside, a small town on Tenmile Lakes. In the 1930's Lakeside was a resort town favored by Hollywood stars. Now it is a popular fishing spot.
