Day 1

8:30 AM - Left Eugene for a beautiful drive through the hills to magical Oregon Coast. Played some ultimate frisbee on the beach, attempted to rescue a "distressed" beaver (he looked mostly tired), and got a nice little tour of Florence / got lost.

12:30 - Super Dank Lunch Hour. Met up with Jesse and Margaret from the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Tribal Confederacy and our guides for the week. Made a trip to Bi-Mart for some workgloves and clamming licenses.

4:00 - Stickgame! (Round 1) Learned how to play the traditional native game and had a blast - It was the unicorn version no less!

5:00 - Dinner!! This day couldn't possibly get any better. Delicious local/organic buffalo meatballs with spaghetti and tomato sauce. Yum!

7:00 - Head South towards our lodging in Coos Bay. Somehow end up near California. Hmm... Turn around near Bandon and head North. Epic vocal jam in Van number 2.

9:45: Check-in to Oregon Institute of Marine Biology where we will be staying. WHAT? We each get our own room?? Get out of here!!

11:37: Site-leader Sheehy getting tired of blogging. Gonna head to bed. Check-back in tomorrow night for more updates!

Much love,
