We've always wanted to investigate the Bandon Oregon area to compare it to the other Oregon Coast cities that we've been to, so I left work a little early and we loaded up the airplane and headed south 260 miles to North Bend, OR (KOTH). The crew at Coos Aviation had a car waiting for us and pointed us toward highway 101. I had made a reservation at the Red Lion in advance so that we had accommodations arranged before we left Renton. Turns out there were some nicer places to stay near Bandon as opposed to North Bend. We spent a day and a half exploring the area around Bandon and found some nice beaches, a light house or two and the world famous Bandon Dunes Resort. The area is also know for its sand dune parks and we saw lots of ATV's on trailers heading for the dunes.

Oyster Festival
We flew over to Shelton for the annual "OysterFest". Shelton (KSHN)is about a 20 minute flight from Seattle and the festival provides a shuttle bus from the airport to the festival grounds. If you like oysters this is the place to go. You can get oysters raw, fried, grilled, steamed, etc. My favorite is an oyster grilled on the 1/2 shell.
