Harris Beach, Bookings, OR

 *Warning this blog has content suitable only for mature audiences.*

It's only about 3 hours of drive time between Patrick's Point and Brookings, OR so we have time for some side trips, including a rive along Prairie Creek Redwoods. (Once I get better bandwidth, will upload a short video of driving through these tall Coastal Redwoods.)

We wanna know where the toweds go... so we don't have to follow them

Prairie Creek Redwoods

We stop along the Klamath River to buy some smoked salmon.  Once in the store, it's apparent, they have precious little salmon and what they do have was probably from Alaska.

Our next stop is for lunch in Crescent City for seafood at the harbor. The food is good, but nothing to write home about.

We did get a laugh out of their sign

They aren't kidding

Harris Beach

We are delighted to be greeted by sunny weather and a nice open, clean camp ground. The Oregon State Parks offer more services for less $$$.

It's such a lovely afternoon, we head down the trail to the beach with the hounds. Where we meet some new acquaintances.

The next morning is foggy, turning to sun by mid day.  We return to the beach for the low tide and the tide pools.
