We drive along Hwy 199 following the Smith River. We are looking for the Wagon Wheel Motel where my family always stayed. We find it CLOSED and dilapidated. Looks like it has been this way for several years. Kind of sad but still a place that provides fond memories.
We drive north along the Oregon Coast. We have lunch in a little café bakery in Bandon Beach. As we drive onward we decide to look for one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. Only problem is we can’t remember the name or what city. We remember it was on a waterfront after we crossed a bridge. In Florence, OR, we cross a bridge and we turn down to the waterfront. We are excited, we are getting closer, and we are hungry. Only to realize this is not the city. Where is it?
We back track and find a campsite at Honeyman Camp Ground by the Oregon Dunes. Lots of dune buggies everywhere, but it is relatively quiet on a weekday. It’s a pretty spot like most of the Oregon State Parks. They are always so green and clean.
We have chicken noodle soup for dinner and I steam a chocolate camp cake for dessert.

Doug could have told you about the Wagon Wheel Motel. I saw it 15 years ago, and it was sad looking then :( Loving reading your blog! xo Liz
