We visited before that event and have not seen it after yet. My husband's sister lives there so I know we will be going back. It also has the distinction of being the only place bombed from the air during WWII by a plane launched from a Japanese sub. In 2015 the pilot of the plane dedicated a plaque at the site and gave the city a samurai sword as a symbol of peace. Any attempts by the Japanese to start fires all along the coast during the war (balloon bombs generally) were unsuccessful because the coast stays so wet! They didn't know about the unending fog and rain! :-) Anyway, we loved seeing these areas...Bandon was a treat. Your photos are absolutely amazing! Beautiful shots, and I enjoyed especially seeing the ones taken on your hikes because we cannot do any hiking anymore and are so limited because of that. Great post!

Brandon and/or Brookings were favorite four-day getaways for us , when we were able to take long weekends. Brookings is known as the “Banana Belt” of the Oregon Coast and we know several people who have retired there. Thanks for the memories once again!Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14270588850092355358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4382621378337855185.post-22795760378416747822018-05-07T13:59:23.881+02:002018-05-07T13:59:23.881+02:00Beautiful photos!
