So by the time you reached Florence, 1 was several hundred miles into the background. Unless everybody was doing incredibly short days I don't see how it would take more than two days to drive the entire length.

Hmm. Well, hmm. I guess not the one but along the coast all the way and it took forever. Now that you mention it, we did have quite a bit inland but it was still two lanes and a long drive. Windy, curvey. Long. Woozy.

We took our time, four nights. We started off from Frisco, first night in Fort Bragg, second in Eureka, Crescent City, then Florence.

Ah, I don't remember that from Florence. We stayed at the Best Western right as you hit the town, before you cross the bridge {heading north}. It seemed quite old but they said it was from the 70s' or later. {the design was quite older to me}. Across the bridge was a quaint little seaport village. Perhaps {since we didn't go past the highway that we then took into Portland} that was up there?

We did go in to the Taco Bell. I remember because I rang the bell for such good service.

Doh, I need to make a photo bucket account....I have so many pics....
