I used to live in Oregon until October, 4 years of it living the van life, so I have seen all of the Oregon coast. One of my favorite places to go. I stayed in Florence a lot. Love that little town.
Glad you had a epic adventure!

@thelogicaldude, right on man! We live in Coos Bay (so right near Florence). What are some of your favorite places in Florence? I realize I haven't been there much, myself. We usually go down to Bandon or most recently up to Newport (Newport's pretty cool -- good food there).
I mainly hung out at either the north or south jetties and the Three Rivers Casino, haha.
Right on. Three Rivers, lol. Man... I've lost so much money at the one in Coos Bay back in the day. I don't gamble any more for that reason. Haha.
I always wanted to go up to the one in Florence though since they had Texas Hold 'em (that game was center of my wheelhouse). Made all my money in prison with Hold 'em. Lol.
So I have never bet a single dollar in there, lol. I sit in the sports book area in the comfy chairs, using free fast internet, and drinking free coffee, lol. I would be on my laptop trading crypto with an espn tab open that I would switch to if someone walked around, lol. I learned the sports betting machines and would teach people how to place bets if the employees weren’t around, lol. Got in good with the gaming director and would get free stuff from him all the time, lol. Would only buy food in the restaurants. I knew the security schedule for the parking lot rounds and would love the van after each round, lol. Kept me off the radar. I would go to the beach during the day and kick the van windows open and sleep during the day and then stay up a bit at night at the casino so it would look like I am playing but staying the night for free, lol.
Haha... nice. I spent a lot of nights when I was on the streets at the Coos Bay one trying to look like I was playing so I could warm my hands with some hot coffee...
...ahhh... homeless in Empire. Lol. :)
Also, the Mill Casino. Would've played back then, but had no money. Lol.
