October 17th was one of our better scenic driving days, all the way from Lincoln to Florence on 101, via Newport, and then Boiler Bay, Whale Cove, Devil's Churn, etc. We spent the night at the 3 Rivers Casino in Florence. The day was marred only by my inadvertently filling
Le Sport's fresh water tank with non-potable water...occasioning the usual draining, filling with treated water, draining, re-filling, etc. The free public facilities at the marina in Florence were a god-send. Just FYI.

Now at Whale Cove, taking some of the pix above, when I hear a woman nearby
scream and then point...three juvenile gray whales were swimming close in by the
rocks; click to enlarge and see the flukes, dead center |

The built environment is pretty interesting too...here part of
the entrance to one of the several art deco bridges that
adorn this coast |

| Devil's Churn...meh |
 |
| Around every bend, there's a view like this |
