Gold Beach, OR / July 5 / Got Nothing for ya
We did not leave the campsite today. Gary did wash the MoHo windows, we cooked our meals, I crocheted a bit and cleaned up a bit but beyond that NOTHING! It was a relaxin' laid back kinda day.

Gold Beach OR / July 4th
Going to try uploading a few pics from today. These are the views as you turn into our campground. This is a creek that runs to the ocean and the bridge in the distance is the 101.
We heard there were jet boat races on the Rogue River at Huntley Park, just about 7 miles east of Gold Beach, so we headed off in that direction. Unfortunately the paper didn't mention what time the races were so I think we arrived too late as all the boats were trailered.
We walked down to the river and found a hidden campsite, although I don't think our rig would make it in.
As we left and headed back to Gold Beach we saw this mama and her two babies!
We then found our way to another beach access here in Gold Beach. Lots and lots of driftwood here
We decorated a bit for the 4th - see our flags?
Fireworks started around 9:30pm/10 up here so we drove over to the Port and found a spot to put our chairs. Wasn't too terribly crowded but they allow fireworks here and people were firing them off everywhere. Pretty sunset though
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!

Gold Beach, OR / Day 4 / Laundry
I understand I have readers who only want to look at pictures so you can skip this post. We sorta took a day off yesterday. I cleaned "house" and we went to "town" to do some laundry and then we had our happy hour, then I made my version of enchiladas and they turned out pretty darn good!
I don't have any pics so here's a pic of my cutie pie back in good ole Cali!

Gold Beach, OR / Day 3 Continued
We did a little shopping and signed ourselves up for a little adventure come Monday - so please stay tuned! It's going to be way out of my comfort zone.........
When we got back to our site, we took the trail walk to the beach. It's exactly 2000 steps round trip so that's good for us. You actually walk on a narrow little trail along the river under the 101 bridge and then onto the beach.

Gold Beach, OR / Day 3 / Visit to Gold Beach
We explored Gold Beach a bit today. The morning bought lots of fog, so when we set off the Patterson Bridge over the mouth of the Rogue River here in Gold Beach was shrouded. But by the time we returned this way the skies had cleared.

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!

Gold Beach, OR
We woke up about 8 and we were in no hurry to get on the road. Took our time getting "road ready" then hit the 101 by 10:30am. We only had 126 miles to go today. Beautiful coast line scenery again today. We stopped along the road for a potty break and lunch and Gary took a few pics.
I spotted a deer along side the road, and I could read her mind - she was thinking about crossing in front me! I was able to slow down just in case she bolted across but she thought better of it and turned around and went back from where she came. Thank goodness. Four deer and counting!
Ms Garmin did great today, we crossed three or four pretty darn big and long bridges today but no issues with the RV. The GPS in the CRV on the other hand had a problem with the last 50 miles of our route. GPS referred to it as an "unidentified area" and just flat quit showing me how to get where I wanted to go. No biggie since our destination was on the 101 but jeez, come on, you just quit giving me directions? I think I'm going to invest in a Mr. Garmin for the CRV.
We arrived here at Turtle Rock RV Resort in Gold Beach. I had no clue what this park was going to be like and I have to say it's a pleasant surprise so far. The site pads are on grass, a first for us, but nicely spaced. We back up to a forested hill and out to the front is the river which flows into the ocean. We have cable and WIFI (although Gary's hotspot is better than the WIFI) and FHU. The ocean access is a short trail under the 101 Bridge, so we will go exploring some tomorrow. The breeze here is amazing and it was a beautiful 65 degrees when we arrived. Have I said I love the weather here!
Side Note: Foxgloves grow wild along the road in Oregon! Beautiful purple foxgloves. Can you imagine and today while setting up our site I noticed that there is a fuchsia growing wild in the shrubbery behind us! At least that's what I think they are. There are a lot of beautiful flowers here. Prefect weather for them.
Side Note #2: Marijuana was legalized in Oregon and the law goes into effect tomorrow - July 1. At our road side stop to view the beautiful coast yesterday a young couple stopped in their car and proceeded to light a joint and share it. They then jumped in their car and hit the highway - yikes! Scary stuff for sure.
