We got up and out early to go on a jet boat trip on the Rogue River. We’ve done the trip before but it’s always fun.

We took the 64 mile trip to Agness with Jerry’s Rogue Jets. We left at 08:30. The weather was perfect for our trip both going and coming. In the […]

2.08.06 | Honey Bear RV Park

We moved to Ophir, Oregon just North of Gold Beach to the Honey Bear RV Park. Wonderful place! Cheap rates, free wifi, and a nice lodge/german restaurant. Above left is our campsite. Above right our dinner companions.

Above left the entertainers at our dinner at Black Forrest Kitchen. The man on the right is […]

I went by a neighborhood RC plane experts house to have him look over my plane. Carl Tobin has been flying electric radio controlled planes for 25 years and appears to be among the most knowledgeable RC pilots around. My plane was repaired and aligned for flight. The many hard landings have taken their toll. […]

Breakfast across the street at a nice cafe. I rode over to the Azlea Garden to look around. Not much there except for the biggest and most interesting wooden play structure I’ve seen.
I also rode around the neighborhood behind the bluff above the harbor. Interesting mixture of trailers, molile homes and houses. Actually a nice […]

It’s unfortunate, especially for the victim, but there was a Darwin Award event yesterday afternoon. A big 45′ Alfa motorhome pulled into the campground. While hooking up his RV, he decided that he needed more than the 30 amps available at the site. He proceeded to open the service pedestal and attempt to bypass the […]

Brookings has the honor of being the only place, on mainland USA, that the Japanese bombed during WWII. A plane launched from a submarine attempted to set the forest on fire with an incinderary bomb

An early morning low tide walk at the Harris Beach tide pools. Grand views here.

Starfish on the rocks, tide pools.

Interesting pattern in the sand. A nice bumble bee on yellow flowers on a higher rock in the tide pool area.

Other flowers on the same rock in the tide pool area.

28.07.06 | Brookings, Oregon

I headed North to Brookings Oregon. Attempted to stay at Harris Ranch State Park but there wasn’t anything available. This state park has extremely nice tide pools. I went over to Brookings Harbor to the Beachfront RV Park. Right by the Marinas on the beach, actually the jetty for the harbor. Very nice place. Excellent […]

13.08.04 | On The Road Home

We’re on the final leg home.
Here is what we look like on the road. Don as the captain of the ship. Dawn working at the PC.

Mr Milo decided it was his turn for the co-pilot seat. He was giving Dawn the “evil eye” for quite a while then when Dawn slipped out of the […]

We visited the John Day Fossil Beds and the Cant Ranch both operated by the National Park Service. The Fossil Beds Visitor Center is brand new and the museum isn’t open yet, there are just a few displays setup, but they are very interesting. This is a working research center with windows into their lab. […]
