Monday was another easy driving day. I never get tired of
saying that. US-101 north from Eureka, a quick fuel stop in Port Orford, just
over the border into Oregon, and an early arrival at the Elks Lodge in
Brookings. There were several open spots, so we headed for one of the pull-thru
sites and were soon all settled in.
Like a lot of the West Coast, southern Oregon can have a
long but late growing season. We found lots things blooming, even if we didn’t
really know what they were!
As I mentioned in a prior post, Elks are on the move this
summer. We had a couple of nights where all 18 spaces in Brookings were full,
and there were RVs trolling through parking lot early in the morning looking to
see who was leaving.
Although our stay started out cloudy and damp, the weather
cleared a bit toward the end of our visit and I was at least able to get one
sunset picture. It would have been better if we were down closer to the
shoreline, but the color started as I was walking the pups and all I could do
was pull out my phone!
And finally, the rest of our trip is assured to be trouble
free.
Years ago (decades, really), someone told me, “Always pay
attention to what’s on the ground in front of you. You never know what other
people will step over and never see”. So I do. There are patches of clover all
throughout the lawn at the Brookings Lodge, and I spotted this four-leaf clover
on one of our morning walks. It’s the third one I’ve found over the years…
