We had to make one more stop for California to pay tribute to the Save the Redwoods League. I do not believe we are 'tree-huggers'; however, we are deep admirers of the Redwood tree. We stopped at the Visitor's Center to find the Redwood Grove established in Californa's redwood parks. This Redwood Grove is the Charles L. McKelvy.
Brookings is called the Banana Belt of Oregon.
We enjoyed the sunshine while we were there. It is a tiny, charming community, population: 6,000; founded in 1908 by Brookings Lumber and Box Company, AmeriCAN: John E. Brookings.
The warm, dry, down-sloping winds that are funneled down the coastal range flow into the deep Chetco River gorge and reaches Brookings uninfluenced by the effects of the Pacific.

Must move on; 3 Nights at Harris Beach State Park in Brookings has been sunny and warm and beautiful. Beach and town within walking distance of the Park. Oregon State Park sites are large enough to accommodate large RV. Just reserve ahead of the others at Reserve America.com $
