Unsolved Mysteries

Well, the first unsolved mystery is where my blog from last night went. Something went very wrong.... A few days ago George and I passed a man standing on the roadside dressed in cycle wear looking very perplexed. The weird thing is that he did not have a bike. George says he did, but there was no bike. We watched for a car with two bikes on it...but never saw one. On another day as we rode by the ocean there was a turn off for Hug Point. I was intrigued. Was this a shout out to the 60's? A place where hippies would meet and have hug fests? My imagination went wild. I will just say that Goggle takes the mystic out of mystery. Yesterday we had breakfast at our hotel and were fortunate to meet a cyclist who was also eating. This gentleman appeared to be in his late 60's. He was riding his bike from Salem,Oregon to Santa Rosa,Ca. Wow. He said he rode about 80 miles a day. We talked about the riders who camp on long trips. He said he met another rider who did not appear to have a lot of money, or any camping gear and he was sure that he was going to sleep under a tree. George and I rode through the heavy mist - later there was very heavy rain which caught all of the riders. So, the unsolved mystery here what drives these cyclists? And where do I get some? And, is there still glass at Glass Beach? We stopped in the lovely little town of Bandon and walked around Old Town Bandon. There is a low fence around the harbor and hanging on the fence are 2by3 paintings done by children. There was also beautiful wood carvings of different animals and benches donated by families for loved ones. We took a lot of pictures. We arrived at our hotel, the Gold Beach Inn, and immediately took a long walk down the beach. Our room has a huge window and we have an amazing view of the ocean. The sounds of the waves lulled us both to sleep. We want to return and spent a few days here. Before we slept though, we had dinner at Spinners. Three years ago we ate there and I got terribly ill. Getting on the bike the next day - well let's just say how I did it remains a mystery. So, back we go. We ate in the bar because it was so busy, I had a simple baked potato and veggies, and we ended up talking with our waitress and her husband. So much fun. They got to take the gigantic bone from George's prime rib to their dog. This is our last day in a hotel. Today we will be riding to Medford to stay with our friend Carol. By the way, one last mystery...I goofed up on the date of my friend Marsha's birthday. How did that happen??? Happy Belated Birthday Marsha! The count down is on...Jenson and George

George wants to have this dragon tattooed on him.

Bandon, Oregon is a tiny town with a famous golf course. We loved it. Particularly this huge anchor with GEORGE on it.
