Gold Beach / Day 2 / Visit to Brookings OR

Wow was sleeping really good when I heard, even with my ear plugs in, a siren.  It rang a long time  It was about 12:30ish and all I could think was it was a Tsunami warning!   Gary even woke up but he decided it was a volunteer fire department and they were calling people in.  I waited a while for the giant wave to wash us away but it never happened, so I went back to sleep! 

We had to do some banking and bill paying this morning and then headed south to Brookings, Oregon to check things out there.   Another beautiful ride down the coast and Gary took some more pics. Brookings is a quaint little seaside town with a port area and the requisite gift shops and fudge. Gary has been sampling fudge this whole trip!  That man does love his sweets.

We made a stop at Harris Beach State Park and we really liked it there.  So it will go on the list as a future spot to camp at.  Right on a cliff at the ocean - lots of trees and shrubs to give each site privacy.
We saw this berry bush, which I believe to be either a raspberry or blackberry bush.  

We checked Yelp for restaurants and settled on one at the port.   We had fish, of course, and it was very good and a very big portion, so no dinner for us tonight. 

We came back to Gold Beach and settled in for happy hour and then Gary took a couple of loads of laundry to the machines and got them going.    I face timed with my babies but Caleb wasn't really too interested in talking to his MiMi - maybe next time.   It was nice to see their faces and hear their voices.

Here are the roadside pics Gary took and pics from the port in Brookings.  Oh and the raspberry or blackberry bush!
