BROOKINGS HARBOR, OREGON

Yesterday was a good travel day, so Larry and I took a trip to California.  We learned very quickly that the distance to the California line was only 4 miles from where we are staying...Cresent City was about 20 miles from here.  It's amazing how close the Ocean was to Highway 101.  This picture was taken on the California Coast.  The dots in the distance are surfers riding the waves.  They seemed to be having the time of their life...It was a cool day and I'm sure the water was much cooler...to each his own.  (smile)  We also enjoyed a trip through the Redwoods in Northern California.  After returning to Brookings, we walked down to the shops about a mile down the road.  We have been walking from 45 minutes to one hour every day to help mitigate all the eating and over-eating we have been doing in the last month or so.  The exercise has been great, but it's not taking the pounds off fast enough...oh well, try, try again.  Everyone take care and be safe.  Warm regards.  Larry and Sharon

  1. Wow, it looks very cold out there. I can't believe there are surfers in the water. I has to be freezing. Looks like it from the picture anyway. Sounds like you guys are having a good time and enjoying the sights. Nice pictures. Stephanie

  2. Cold is an understatement...I agree...to each his own! Redwoods? Ah man now Im really jealous! That is another one I want to add to my must see list! I heard it is breath taking to stand next to one of those 100 year old trees!
