2013 LADEZE VENUE

To whet your curiosity, about the Edson Creek, Oregon Ladeze event scheduled in September, here are some photos of the campground and surrounding areas.  Edson Creek feeds into the Sixes River, located between Port Orford to the South, Bandon to the North, with Cape Blanco in between.

The Edson Creek Group Campground.  Can you picture 20 Lazy Dazes in its wide open grassy meadow?

The pleasant individual-site campground at the entrance to the BLM real estate...

PORT ORFORD'S very busy commercial fishing port...

Can you smell crab?

At the entrance to the docks is a small parking area where dry camping with this peaceful view is possible.

The CAPE BLANCO Lighthouse is Oregon's oldest, most Westerly and highest above the sea.  It was built to warn mariners of the dangerous offshore "islands" (big rocks!!); tours of the lighthouse are popular.

BANDON

Bandon Lighthouse at the mouth of the Coquille River

Bandon's lively harbor boardwalk invites strolling and pausing to admire "Old Town's" artistic touches. 

Bandon doesn't have a Starbucks, but my suggestion would be to put its don't-miss chocolatier at the top of your visit list! 

 Bandon is the cranberry capital of Oregon.  Who knew?!

The 2013 Edson Creek Ladeze event concludes just in time for the 67th Annual Bandon Cranberry Festival, a festive add-on if one has the time and inclination: September 13 - 15.
