Stop # 4 - Coos Bay, Oregon - (9/2 - 9/4)
We stayed at Alder Acres RV Park - www.alderacres.com




About a 2 1/2 drive from Grants Pass is Coos Bay.  We chose this area because we wanted to experience some of the beautiful coastline we've heard so much about.  We were not disappointed!  There are three different state parks that we visited:
Sunset Bay  www.oregonstateparks.org/park_100.
Shore Acres   www.oregonstateparks.org/park_97.php
Cape Arago  www.oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage...parkPage&parkId...

We found Shore Acres the most interesting because of the history of Simpson Family.  Their estate was located where the park is now situated and their botanical gardens and a few buildings are all that remain.
