The refrigerator is now working as it should, at least on electric. Tony at Gibs says not to run it on gas until it is fixed. I got a call from Tammy at Escape & they should have the parts to fix it in by the 26th, so it looks like I'm heading for Canada.
Today, after waiting until 1:01 for the people in my new site to move out I set up in the F loop, site 264. After setting up I headed back down the coast with just the RAV4 to check out lighthouses, rocks, the ocean, etc. I stopped first at the Umpqua River Lighthouse, then drove down to the shoreline & the triangle. I don't know what kind of fishing is going on in the triangle, but there are a bunch of what looks like large floats with a couple of commercial fisherman moving around them - maybe shell fish? In any case, it looked neat. After that I continued south to the Cape Arago State park and photographed rocks, sea lions & seals, & what I think was the Cape Arago Lighthouse. If there is a road to it I never found it or any signs for it so all I got was a distance photo. On the way back to the campground I stopped to take a couple of photos of an interesting boat house on a lake surrounded by trees.

After getting back & eating dinner (a couple of cheese brots & the rest of the Dole Coleslaw which I really like, but have rarely found) I headed for the showers. At the old site they were next door - three pretty beat stalls on the men's side. Here they are newer - 4 individual rooms, however I suspect some kids locked the two center doors with no one inside. Either that or we waited in line for 2 people who don't answer knocks and were taking 1/2 hour showers! At least the four of us waiting got to talk about out travels.
After checking with some signs today (July 20th) I guess I'm wrong calling the larger seals Sea Lions. I think they are Harbor Seals. What do I know? The only seals we see on the east coast are little ones!
