We continued our trip down the coast with an 80 mile drive to Harris Beach State Park in Brookings, our last stop in Oregon. We will be here 4 nights. On the way down the coast, along with seeing many beautiful vistas, we happened to get some pictures of the Rotary Salmon Derby on the lower Rogue River, sponsored by the Gold Beach, OR Rotary Club.
It was a wet and misty marine layer morning when we left Bandon. As the day progressed, the ceiling lifted a little and by the time we got to Brookings it was just mostly cloudy with patches of sunshine here and there.
After checking into the park around 1:00 pm and getting set up, we went into town for a late lunch/early dinner once again. We went down to the harbor and had an excellent meal at a seafood restaurant on the water. It was halibut fish and chips and a cup of chowder for me and Judy had a cup of chowder and shrimp taco's. After eating, we walked around the wharf area for awhile then attended a Veterans appreciation event in a nearby park. We got there towards the end but they had various booths offering veterans services, food and entertainment. We saw Loretta Lynn's granddaughter singing, and a loud local blues band. The event was sponsored by the local Vietnam Veterans Association chapter supported by the local Lions club.
When we arrived back at the park we stopped for a few minutes at the park day use area to admire the Oregon coast for awhile before retiring for the night.
The plan for tomorrow is for Pat to cook a couple of pounds of bacon in his new outside kitchen (Galley) and then we want to take a walk on the beach if the weather is warm and sunny,.
