florence, or
website
i do not recommend driving through the oregon hills in the rain at night. derek did a great job of navigating some very treacherous roads, but he was exhausted by the time we reached florence, oregon. we decided to spend the night at the old town inn before continuing our epic journey. the inn is appropriately named because it's just a short walk to the cute waterfront area, called old town. the innkeeper gave us a token for free clam chowder at mo's. on a cold, rainy night in the pacific northwest, clam chowder sounded perfect.
mo's is located at the north end of old town, right across from a homemade ice cream shop (that was unfortunately closed). standard chowder house menu - derek ordered the fish and chips (and a beer) and i ordered the clam strips and chowder. seaside comfort food. clam strips were tasty - not too greasy, just the right clam-to-breading ratio. chowder was solid. it's clear that the seafood was fresh. our table was right next to the window, overlooking the siuslaw river. perfect. mo's even has a little souvenir shop inside, so you can get your shopping and eating done all at once.
