The concensus is that everyone had a good night at the Curly Redwood Lodge in Crescent City. Check out the history and the size of the tree they built it from on their website. We're a scattered group today, some leaving really early and others still in bed as we left a little before 9:00. A mile from the lodge we lost 2 cars to a McDonalds, and then there were 3. The fog was pretty constant the whole day, obscuring ocean views and putting a chill on the roadster folks. We stopped in Brookings, the Banana Belt of the Oregon coast, filled our tanks (by law they pump it) and mailed postcards to our un- connected friends & family.
Stopping for a stretch on the shore, we adjusted a rich fuel issue on one of the A's and walked through the grassy dunes. Still slowing down on the hills, we pulled into the Visitors Center in Gold Beach. I reset the points and timing, and adjusted the carburetor, again. Now it's running good with no more problems.

Oregon has beautiful scenery and excellent roads with crews working to keep them in shape. We went through about 10 construction zones for repaving and bridge building. Traffic was lite and with 'Speed 55' the pace suits our A's doing about 50mph. We arrived in Bandon for an excellent lunch and thaw at the Wheel House. Dave retarded the timing on his Cabriolet but has a larger problem that we haven't isolated completely. Sounds like a U-joint, missing tooth on the pinion, flywheel hitting the starter bolt (confirmed sort of at the motel) or all of them. We fought high winds north of Florence and arrived at Moolack Shores around 6pm. Check out their website and you will want to stay here too.
