Oregon or Bust!!

There are certain events that have to happen every year..Christmas, Valentines Day, Birthdays, Anniversary, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and our Camping Trip to Oregon. Should be a National Holiday..equal to Labor Day..truly There hasn't been more than 5 summers in the last 43 years that didn't include a camping trip to the Oregon Coast..namely Harris Beach Campground..and there has been a year or two when we managed to squeeze in two trips to Harris Beach in one summer.. I started this tradition when I was about 14 years old..my parents decided to take a vacation..wow..we really didn't know what that was at the time but as kids we knew it was going to be great..somehow we ended up in Brookings Oregon (from Las Vegas) and decided this was heaven to a family of desert rats. We met our Aunts, Uncles and Cousins there..then we brought our spouses and children.. Now we have our children, their spouses and our grandchildren. They all can't wait to make the pilgrimage each summer. We had a short trip this year..only three nights, but we made it. We picked blackberries, made jam, watched the sunset, had a crab and seafood boil, walked on the beach...did it all. The summer is complete now! Life is good!
