Before doing any scouting Dana and Nancy needed to have some lunch then wanted to do a bike ride (nothing like putting off work!). They went to lunch at La Maison in Newport, Oregon, a favorite of Nancy's, and now a favorite of Dana's. This small restaurant serves breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Saturday and a special dinner once a month. It's a bit hard to find but well worth the effort (address: 315 SW 9th Street, Newport, OR 97365; phone 541-265-8812; http://www.lamaisoncafe.com/ ).
After lunch we rode 20 miles on the Bay Road in Newport (it is a lovely ride along Yaquina Bay; it is fairly flat unless you decide to climb the hill and goes to the town of Toledo). After our ride we drove to Florence, Oregon, checked into the Three Rivers Casino Hotel (http://www.threeriverscasino.com/), then drove to Mapleton to visit Dana's grandmother and her family. We had a great visit and Dana's grandmother took all of us to dinner at the casino's Prime Rib and Steak House. We had an excellent dinner and lovely evening - thank you, Pat! The Three Rivers Casino is a perfect place to stay in Florence - it's off the main highway a couple of miles out of town (off of Hwy 126 - the Eugene-Florence Highway), so is very quiet. The rooms are large and very comfortable and the prices are very reasonable.
Needless to say, we did no "scouting" on Wednesday!
