Camp #16 Harris Beach State Park Campground Site C3, Brookings, Oregon

We found another coastal town.  This one is just miles from the California Border.  The Harris Beach campground is high above a beautiful beach.  All the beach view sites were taken but we found a nice wooded one just steps from that view with LOTS of space and a huge fire ring.  We love it!  There is no cable or wifi so our data will take a hit but well worth it.IMG_4068 After we set up we took Apache for a nice long walk on the beach below.  He quickly found a new girlfriend in Emma.  They had a wonderful time as we lazed along the sandy pacific, waves crashing, a few surfing nearby—a beautiful memory.

The sunset was another wonder.  We squeezed every drop out of this day, I’d say.

Back to the camp for a fire and music.  IMG_4165We started our next day at the Wild Mushroom Festival.  It was in the tiny little Chetco Community Building.  Joe quickly felt claustrophobic and decided to wait outside for me.  I enjoyed the center table with examples of all the local mushrooms.  If we lived here, I think we would enjoy shrooming.

After some lunch of sushi and warm sake we went in search of a nearby beach where the locals say is THE place for sea glass and driftwood.  What a find!  We made sure to get some artsy driftwood for Joe’s mom, Sue.  She’s gonna be thrilled!

Tomorrow promises to be a rainy Sunday so we will cozy in for some football games and puzzles.  Flipping the coin to see who has to take Apache out.
