Coos History Museum
Rain forced a change of plans along the Oregon coast, turning a day of hiking into a visit to the Coos History Museum in Coos Bay. What followed was a deeper look at logging, shipbuilding, fishing, Indigenous languages, and a difficult piece of local history. The day ended at Cape Arago, a reminder that travel rarely goes as planned—but often leads somewhere better.
