Feb 21, 2022 – Bandon, Oregon

Bandon is our first stop on our way to the Southwest in “BigB.” It was windy with passing showers (some pretty intense as there is a cold front coming through the coast). The beach at Bandon never fails to amaze; atmospheric and alien-like. As we had imagined our days would go on this trip we had tea in the rig after our hike (just in time as another front came through!) then stopped in old Bandon for some lunch and our requisite magnet (we have a board and will be collecting magnets at each stop where possible – we may run out of room – we’ll see). I pulled out my Lensbaby Edge 35 lens to get some atmospheric bokeh – it was fun until I couldn’t feel my hands anymore.

Launch date – Feb 20

We have been feverishly downsizing. Not just because we are moving from a house to a mobile home, but we are also moving to France. But! We are touring the U.S. and Canada first before we pull the final plug. We have had to purge all of our appliances that are not dual voltage and bid farewell to furniture and artifacts as part of our reboot. It has been a lot, some days are exhausting, but come Sunday we will be heading out to Bandon, Oregon to spend a few days then onto the Redwoods. Stay tuned!

Big B – almost ready!
