Wandering West Day 19 - This is Oregon!
NORTH BEND, OR - At this point I'm getting ready to go home but I have always wanted to see the Oregon coast and Crater Lake. Meandering through Oregon before the big drive back east, today I drove from Portland, OR to North Bend, OR.
About 225 Miles.
To a photographer, rocky coastlines are "da bomb" as they say. And Oregon didn't disappoint, delivering your standard beautiful pacific coastline.

In Oregon you can't pump your own gas. It took me two stops before I figured it out. At the second gas station I wasn't quite sure so I figured I'd test the system. The pumps are just like any other self serve pump and there are no signs telling you to wait for an attendant. So I pull up and begin the process, swiping my card and putting the nozzle in the car. Then the attendant runs up to me and shouts, "What are you doing? This is Oregon! The customer cannot touch the pump. Otherwise the customer gets a fine and the station gets a fine." Well, exxxxcuuuussse me...
