Jeanette is shown birding at the huge pond in Powers County
Park yesterday afternoon. We had
pleasant memories of camping here years ago, in the mid-nineties when Jeanette
and I were on a fall bicycling tour. We had started in Coos Bay and cycled down
the coast to Gold Beach, up the Rogue River to Agnes, over the top and down to
Powers, and then returning to Coos Bay. My folks had joined us for a few days
in their RV, camping with us at Agnes, Powers, and Bandon. The pleasant memories of that trip influenced
my decision to return here to camp and bird. I was shocked to discover that the
twisty winding road to and from the isolated community of Powers is no place
for a man my age to be driving a RV. I was passed by an empty logging truck, and
a full one wanted to run right over the top of me. In short, we will probably
never return. We did have a brighter spot in the day yesterday with a morning
stop in Coquille and a very pleasant walk and birding experience on the
Coquille Riverwalk. This one will be a
return destination.
