about 1400 today. This "free campground" is going to be a little spendy. It was a back in site, I unhooked the Tracker, another rig was waiting to get by so I violated the No. 1 Rule about backing into unknown spaces. I could see the curb in my mirrors so thought I was OK..........not so, a tree limb was sticking out and I managed to put a dent/hole in the back of the rig. This site has cable TV so didn't have to fight the trees for reception....also the same WiFi we had near Grants Pass also is available in this park......that keeps "B" from going into withdrawals. After we got set up we headed to town to see what Brookings has to offer. Not much. We went down to the boat basin, shopped around a Saturday Market type affair with a few venders selling stuff we had no use for. The Hungry Clam was close by, and since we're looking for good clam chowder and fish and chips, we decided to give it a try. Naturally the waitress said their chowder was voted the "best" and they even had a grubby little plaque on the wall stating same. We split chowder and an order of fish and chips. The fish and chips were definitely in a class by themselves and absolutely gave us no reason for ever returning. The chowder was a 3 on a 5 scale.We browsed the docks, "B" took some pictures of the ocean and we watched a pelican fishing. Drove down the road aways and found this big pile of rocks a couple of hundred yards from the road. Last picture is the beach area at Harris Beach State Park.
We'll probably go searching for some geocaches tomorrow and nothing else planned. We ran into some of Becky's kinfolk........they're staying in the park too. Haven't seen them since this afernoon..........maybe tomorrow they'll invite us over for a steak cookout! We're kinda kicking around the idea of taking a boat tour up the Rogue River from Gold Beach, a little burg about 25 miles up the road. Not definite yet but running the rapids sounds like it could be fun as well as picture ops for "B".
That's our day for today. B & W
