bandon o bandon




















Entering Bandon.

One sad thing about Oregon is every so often you come across these tree graveyards. There are mountain side which all the trees have been clear cut for this "renewable resource".

As we approached Bandon we stopped and enjoyed the beautiful glades. Each day we would see various natural environments that just captured your minds. One time a disciple asked Srila Prabhupada," Prabhupada, do you think that that sunset is beautiful?" Prabhupada answered,"If you think that the sunset is beautiful wait til you see the artist behind it." We didnt think that Bandon was going to be one of our favorite places on the whole trip. We arrived to the town and it was a little place with just one small grocery store. We got some food stuff to eat and headed to the local Library to catch up on email . We got there a little late so only spent ten minutes there. We chatted with a golf catty for twenty minutes or so and he gave us the advice to camp on the beach in these little huts that he and his caddy buddyies go drinking at each night. We liked the beach idea but not the hanging out with his buddies idea. Caddying is a good job for anyone who likes to be the servant for very rich people. He get 80 dollars plus tip to carry a bag for four hours. We showed up at the beach and our jaws dropped seeing and feeling the environment. Most beautiful.
