Today is Poppy Brown’s USA Birthday. Happy Birthday, Pop!
Another nice little sleep in and an easy start to the cold, foggy morning.
As the morning warmed up (a little), I took the opportunity to go for a small walk along the beach, watching the waves, watching the fog drift in and out and believe it or not watching a surfer.
To be honest, I have not even felt the temperature of the water here. I am just passing my judgment that it is cold on the facts that there are limited swimmers, the ones that are in the water are screeching as they enter and surfers are in a top to toe wetsuit. The water appears balmy…
By 11 am we were packed up, leaving Gold Beach (where the Rogue River meets the sea) and back on the stunning Pacific Coast Scenic Byway.
Town folk in Gold Beach have been very friendly.
The coast today was very foggy but the scenery we could see was spectacularly rugged.
Just before we entered the town of Port Orford, a deer ran in front of the motorhome. Peter hit the breaks and I do not know how we missed it but we did, thankfully. I think Pete’s heart rate may have increased a little.
We passed through the small town of Langlois and from its welcome sign is apparently ‘World Famous’. I googled as to why this is so and found a bundle of so-called reasons. One being Langlois is only one of five towns named Langlois in the entire world, and another that they take pride in the fact that the name Langlois stirs up so much interest in the pronunciation. The subject is a great icebreaker and is often the first question asked by visitors.
I mean really Langlois, really…
Next, a stop at an antique carpark in Bandon for toasted sandwiches in the motorhome and then a lovely, although cold, summer stroll around the old town.
Back in the motorhome and back on the road to our destination for tonight, Charleston Marina RV Park in coastal Charleston, Oregon. This might be another town where the town folk may spend quality time smoking the green stuff.
A load of washing done and a visit to the Charleston Marine Life Center (small aquarium) for Pete, Noah, and Wes. I got to enjoy the silence of the motorhome, priceless…
A nice short stroll to the Miller’s at the Cove Sports Bar & Grill for dinner and then back to the motorhome to rest and be ready for a brand new day.
