Early morning and not yet light.   The RV Park told me they nailed heavy boards to the lids of the dumpsters to keep the bear out.  I kept waiting for that bear to attempt his break-in on the dumpsters next to our site until I realized that it was winter…bears won’t be around.  Duh…just have to wait until Alaska.   I’m not sure I wanted to see a live bear that close up anyway.

We are inching our way North and plan to spend a bit longer in Brookings, OR than our past stops as my dad and step-mom live here. Our “always something” was a loose seal on the front window that needed to be fixed and then when we arrived, it was an electrical current problem.

Our site on the beach ended up being a total let down…lots of mud and way short for our 45 feet LilyPad and Ribbit.  Only 30 amps makes life a bit more difficult so we headed to the local Elks Lodge.  Would have loved to wake up to sea sounds, sights, smells and scents only a few feet from us each morning but it will have to wait.

We only have a 30 amp tonight.  The tiny trailer that came in last week took the only 50 amp at the Brookings Elks Lodge.  Had they used 50 amps they would have blown  out their fuses. They were to have moved out today as their week ended but here they still were..  We parked in the 30 amp right next to them for the night.  Millie tried to intimidate them by giving them the “watch out, I’m a mean scary dog” stare in hopes of moving them out quicker but it didn’t work.
