Being open to all the twists and turns is leading me to such beauty and to the unexpected.
The covered bridges that I "toured" in Cottage Grove were not the Bridges of Madison County (Richard Kincaid, where are you?). But the tour of them, in the car, showed me a beautiful part of Cottage Cove, that is not in the tour book! Cottage Grove did not start out so good. I ran over a curb and busted my tire, luckily I was right across the street from a tire place who changed my tire (for free) and looking at the tire, the tread was low, so blessing in disguise (plus the guy filled all my other tires with air). Then I lost my keys in a park, not a big park, but freaked out nonetheless. I asked a guy to help me look for them, he was not pleased to help me, but 2 minutes later, found my keys and called him my lucky charm, so hopefully he went home feeling good.
Then the drive to the coast was breathtaking and ending up at Bandon Beach, which I totally missed on the drive up, is so awesome. I am so glad that I decided to go back down the coast. Interesting when you go the opposite way, you see all these "new" stuff!
Here's pictures:
