Day 17:  Washburne Memorial State Park to Coos Bay, OR Today's Distance: 63 miles Total Distance: 764 miles Last night I was harassed by a gaze of raccoons (don't be impressed, I looked it up).  They must've smelled food, but they weren't as resilient as I thought they'd be.  Just like most mornings, when I started my ride it felt like I was putting in a lot of effort but not going anywhere.  The struggle is real.  It was a little foggy but the view was still nice.  I hit my 2nd and last Oregon tunnel and this one had zero shoulder.  Luckily there was some roadwork and they stopped the cars after me, so I had the whole road to myself for about 15 minutes.  I stopped to have breakfast in Florence and after that I entered into the Oregon Dunes.  I don't really think of dunes when I think of Oregon, but most of today's ride was spent riding by them. Unfortunately they're not that visible from the road, so I'd have to make a side trip to go...
