I was a little nervous at first to be driving alone behind the RV in an place I did not know, but it turned out to be an amazing drive. The drive started through downtown Humboldt up the 101. I am trying to remember this correctly, so I might be all over the place. The drive up the 101 was filled with massive redwoods that looked like xmas trees, followed by curvy roads up hill that gave you glimpses of the ocean. I was thrilled when the traffic slowed to a crawl to slowly pass a heard of elk that was crowding the road. I yelled (at no one) to look at the baby elk!!! So cool. It made the hour and a half solo drive fun, exciting, and pass very quickly. Before we knew it we were in Brookings OR. The car battery issue took up a lot of our time, so we didn’t have as much time as I need to visit Brookings. First stop, after we checked into the RV park, was Harris Beach. People were not kidding when they said it was a must see. Hubby, the baby bassets, the pups, and I strolled along the beach, dodged waves, and climbed a few rocks to get a better look at the ocean. Below is a picture of my oldest baby basset with a stick. Gotta love a good stick, right?? After Harris Beach we made our way to Chetco Point Park. Ummm… I did not read the fine print that said that you parked next to the wastewater treatment plant. YUCK! But once you got past it, the short hike is amazing. I will post those pictures later. You guys probably want your Kindle books now, so I will catch you all up later on the rest of the day. Today we are off to Florence, Oregon.

FREE for a limited time
From a bestselling and award-winning author who has sold over 2.5 million books.
Janelle Herron isn’t interested in having a boyfriend. She wears black clothes, dark makeup, and sees herself metaphorically as a caterpillar who hopes to transform into a butterfly someday. She hopes that she will grow into a vision of herself that she can live with, and she has her reasons — reasons that only her parents are aware of — but that doesn’t include having a romantic relationship. But when she sees a handsome Amish man being harassed by bullies, she gets involved and becomes friends with Thomas Schrock. He’s safe. They can never be together romantically because he’s Amish.
Thomas Schrock is intrigued — and a little embarrassed — when a Goth-looking young English woman intervenes in a one-sided fight Thomas is about to be lured into by three bullies. Janelle is spunky, brave, and might even be pretty behind all the dark makeup she wears. She is easy to talk to, fun to be around, and as they spend more time together, he begins to understand some of the reasons she dresses the way she does. But as Janelle and Thomas’s feelings begin to lean toward romance, Janelle holds tightly to a secret she has no plans to share. Her plan is to stay on course and leave for college at the end of the summer.
But will a magical meadow filled with monarchs and a little divine intervention turn things around for Janelle? Will she finally share her secret with Thomas and become the butterfly she’s always wanted to be?
