North Bend/Coos Bay, Oregon — It’s a wrap Sunday night on the Oregon coast, a raw, beautiful and forested section of the country where I found refuge to bike, hike and re-charge batteries to continue reporting on Las Vegas’ sports industry growth.
The road trip actually began in Oakland for two Athletics games at the Coliseum a week ago on July 4 and 5 before I set up base at a pleasant Airbnb on a tree-packed hill just north of Oregon’s Bay area of Coos Bay and Noth Bend. Besides drawing tourists to state parks out on the ocean, the Coos Bay/North Bend area is also a serious fishing and logging market.
Here’s a view from the Airbnb street where I stayed.
The fishing village of Charleston where a Coast Guard station is based is a gateway from Coos Bay to the scenic state parks.
After enjoying the roller-coaster Pacific Coast Highway 101 views, I settled into Coos Bay for the weekend.
