On the way from seeing the largest/widest redwoods to the tallest redwoods, we decided to stop at a few wine tasting spots.
At the first winery, the Nelson Brothers hostess was showing a couple the property as a wedding venue and because Candy was being her charming self, the hostess gave us a bottle of wine and some passes to a nearby winery since she could not take care of us. Not bad.
We followed Goldie to the next winery where Candy and Rick bought a bottle of red so that Candy could stay ahead of the wine demand (and Harris could mooch yet some more wine).
We moved on until lunch time where we stopped at a (you guessed it) another winery.
We finally arrived at Jediah Smith campground in the Redwoods National Park where we found a site that could accommodate the two rigs.
This has become our new favorite national park campground because of the great sites and the new bathrooms and showers.
Sunday morning we hit the road early because our good friends Helen and Joe promised to treat us to Sunday breakfast at Star of the Sea Catholic Church in nearby Brookings, OR. Biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, ham, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, coffee, juice, and lots of attention... all for $8 per person. Wow, what a deal and a meal!
We then took a walk through nearby Azalea Park which was stunning in its beauty. Lots of landscaping and volunteer help was evident.
An interesting feature was the Capella by the sea building. Details here: http://or-brookings.civicplus.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/2
We then did a couple of geocaches which gave us an opportunity to drop off a travel bug we've been carrying since Phoenix, AZ. We thought it was appropriate to drop it off at the Boy Scouts building in Brookings.
