COOS BAY — Linda Prefontaine thought she’d never move back to her hometown.
But not only did she return to Coos Bay last year, she did something else even more unexpected: At 64, she bought a minivan and became a tour guide.
From May to October, she spends a few mornings a week waiting in a hotel parking lot outside her Honda Odyssey with satellite radio playing ’70s standards and a cooler of drinks tucked behind the driver’s seat, waiting for guests to arrive.
Over the next eight hours, she’ll drive them from bays to beaches, murals to a marina, gardens to a gravesite.
