I lived their for a few yrs in high school, I loved it! We went horseback riding every day on the beach. My friends mom owns “Bandon beach riding stables”💕🤠
nwnative rain: I go to Bandon every year October, stay there more than a month, hope I still can go there this year, miss Bandon so much! ❤️ Bandon from Chicago.
OOh Bandon Oregon is one of the places that is just fun to go to and exist.. take no cares or worries with you so you can just immerse yourself in the wonderful small town feel of a coastal town and enjoy! So many lovely relaxing things there to do it like soulful! : )
Thanks! I thought maybe I was mispronouncing it, thought maybe it was Spanish. Had to look it up now, has some interesting history - www.mailtribune.com/article/20130430/NEWS/304300316
We found Bandon about 15 years ago and vacation there every year in October. We have had some wonderful weather. We do not own an RV yet, but hope to soon. There is a small but beautiful RV park just south of Bandon. I believe it is the state park. All the spots are very private because of all the trees and bushes. Very nice bathrooms and showers, unlike California where we are from. Thank you so much for your videos. I am learning so much before making my purchase. You are keeping my dream alive. :)
Nice Ray ! Michelle and I just love watching and seeing all the places you and Ann go to . Been doing a few projects on the old RV today . Took the hood off to take it to the paint shop to be repainted , ( Clear coat peeling off ) and got down to our lake front to do some spring cleaning of the beach ... Next is to get to our woodlot to do some spring cleaning there . Thanks for all the videos so we can dream about our future travels once Michelle retires .
Hey, nice video, we've been there with my family several times, but never so early in the morning and it's a very nice place, thanks for sharing the video.
In the late 60's I lived on 'Lower Four Mile Road" and that is now where that "Petting Farm" is located. While living there, I delivered propane. This is not something native Oregonians use, but relocated Californians who liked natural gas and are the primary users.
Re visiting this video. My wife and I honeymooned here 10 years ago and we return every year. Edgewater is fantastic , Bandon fish market is our favorite. By the way, if you are in Palm Desert or la Quinta, Fishermans Market is great for fish . Be prepared to wait during happy hour. I'm from pacific northwest and a fish snob.... It gets a solid thumbs up. Thanks for the views.
Thanks! found this: How Do You Pronounce That? People encountering the Coquille Indian Tribe are often puzzled about the pronunciation of our name. The southwestern Oregon town of Coquille and the nearby Coquille River are both pronounced “ko-keel.” So why does the Tribe pronounce its name “ko-kwel”? The history behind that question is complex, but here’s a shorthand version Our ancestors traditionally trapped and ate lamprey, an eel-like fish. One name for the lamprey was “scoquel.” As fur traders and settlers moved into Western Oregon, the river and the people living near it became known as “Coquell” or “Coquelle.” Early treaties identified the tribe as “Coquille” - spelled like the French word for “shell.” Sometime after a city of that name was established, the pronunciation shifted from “ko-kwel” to “ko-keel.” (Local merchants reportedly wanted to sound fancier.) Today, the town and river are “ko-keel,” but the Tribe is “ko-kwel.”

This town looks so peaceful and laid back. I've never been there, but I knew someone who lives there and it's strange seeing it, and getting the feel, because she is someone who would dress everyday like she was headed to a Mardi Gras parade wearing too much caked-on makeup and flashy clothes. I'm sure she had to stand out in such a small community.

Thanks, so happy you're enjoying the vids! Nice that spring is here for you finally. :)
That’s an amazing little coastal town.
We love that place. It's one of our favorite stops along the coast. We park the RV at that big lot you pointed out then go get food.
We lucked out and got some abnormally warm spring weather, was awesome!
Great video Ray. Love the way you capture the "flavor" of the area.
+Fred Pankhurst Thanks!
Nice camera work. Great sense of place. Thank you! 💥
I lived here from 2002-2007. It's a good town
Hey, nice video, we've been there with my family several times, but never so early in the morning and it's a very nice place, thanks for sharing the video.
Sure is, you're welcome - Ray
Love that place, they also have a great petting Farm for families.
I think we visited that a number of years ago, just south. It had monkeys and some big cats and elk. Ame got to pet a baby possum.
In the late 60's I lived on 'Lower Four Mile Road" and that is now where that "Petting Farm" is located. While living there, I delivered propane. This is not something native Oregonians use, but relocated Californians who liked natural gas and are the primary users.
Lived in Bandon 29 years ago. I worked at the Minute Cafe.
I used to go to the Minute Cafe every week :)
