Our 500th cache!
We dawdled a bit more on the way to Brookings, Oregon on Saturday morning, stopping to geocache along the way. We found our 500th cache! (We had hoped to make it a cool one, but the only ones on the road were easy guardrail ones, so we finally decided just to do one and make our milestone. Luckily we found a guard rail with a great view. Then we went on to see our good friends Helen and Joe Donahue in Brookings. They live in a condo right on rocky cliff above the ocean. It’s a million dollar view that we never get tired of looking at. They took us out to dinner Saturday night, and we stayed up late talking, laughing, and playing cards.
Harris and Joe go caching along a beach
The weather was changing with light showers Sunday morning. It seems that we are finally catching up to the rain! We did some geocaching a little south of town with Helen and Joe. We found 7 including one that involved hiking ½ mile along a beach, scrambling over some rocks, and jumping over several streams. We returned for a great dinner and more cards. (Can you believe Harris lost 2 out of 3 games?)
Several cormorants silhoutted on the rocks
We left Brookings this morning after a great breakfast, and drove slowly up the coast. Judy stopped for quilt shops along the way, and Harris stopped for geocaches. The weather has turned a bit rainy, but we’ve been so lucky this whole trip we really can’t complain. We’re stopping for the night outside of Coos Bay in a little town called Charleston. We were going to stay in Sunset state park but since it was raining steadily we opted for a very nice private park right next to the beach with wifi (to catch up on our blog) and cable. Total miles driven today= 105.
