Near Ophir.

Store in Nesika for a snack and stocking up.
Picture
Near Gold Beach there are many beach options.

People ask what I think about when I struggle on the trip.

No hot tub tonight. Camping at Harris Beach S.P.
Picture
Saying goodbye to Oregon and into California.
Picture
Brookings, Oregon
Brookings was begun by the lumber industry and the city is named after that company that started lumbering the area. In 2011 a tsunami of an 8' wave damaged the harbor. The tremor that created the wave was from a quake near Japan. Astounding. 
Picture
Mt. Emily near Brookings
Mt. Emily is the only site on the mainland U.S. that suffering attack during World War II.  A plane with torpedoes took off from a Japanese submarine and luckily there was no damage. I bet the waters were patrolled by the U.S. Navy.

I look forward to my last state on this route, California. It looks to be a very long ride to Mexico.
I spent a month moving my mileage through Oregon.  I can see how the towns along the way are similar to the one along the Lake Michigan - Michigan shoreline.  The areas that sustained themselves had a river outlet.  Lumber, fishing, and recreation developed the areas.

Looking down into the Smith River.
Picture
I did not see any evidence of a fort.
Picture
This city is the only incorporated town in the county. It is named for the shape of the sandy beach.
Picture
Campsite in Del Norte Coast Redwoods S.P.
In the photo you see a steel bear box.  Be sure not to keep anything in your tent that will attract a bear. The trees are astounding!
