at North Bend (actually figured out today that the casino is in North Bend instead of Coos Bay). We had another night at Bullard Beach; but, we both wanted to try the seafood buffet at the casino, they have seafood on Friday and Saturday so we got underway this afternoon and arrived at the casino about 1400. Made a quick grocery run, hooked up the little generator and my MTV, fired up the air card and we're set for the night.
Got into the seafood buffet shortly after 1600...........no lines of people were waiting so I was beginning to wonder if their buffet was worth trying. They had dungness crab on the serving line so I painfully forked over $50.00 for two buffets...............they wouldn't even give me an old age discount!! About two hours later we both rolled out of the buffet and dragged our crab ladden butts to a slot machine. I found my favorite machine just waiting for me so I started playing it..................it wouldn't let me win very much and wouldn't take my money so I played it until I was falling asleep. Becky finally found me and I finally quit $17.00 ahead. Not enough to pay for the buffet; but, at least I was ahead.
The Seafood Buffet was worth every bit of the $25.00 per head!!! I chowed down on two large chowder bowls of crab (I crack and clean crab until I fill a bowl and then slouch melted butter over it) and eat it down. It takes about 30 minutes to clean the crab and about 3 minutes to eat it. Fried oysters, scallops, shrimp..........you name it.....it was all good. After the first round of crab meat I tried the prime rib..........it was delicious! The horseradish really lit me up though. After second chowder bowl of crab I slowed down and finished everything up with an ice cream sundae...........not your soft ice cream..........the good kind......Umpaqua!
This little trip to the Oregon Coast has been outstanding...........got a few rain drops the other night; but, every day was sunny and warm..........70s for the coast is warm.......for me it's just right. Doesn't get any better.
Heading for Vancouver tomorrow. More later. W&B
