Jan 17 day 8 – Clear & sunny morning & afternoon, fog rolling in by mid afternoon

Late start today, pulled out of Mill Casino 11:15 at 155433 km.  We took a turn to a scenic route but we took the wrong turn and ended up at a town called Coquille east of Hwy 101.  We left hwy 101 about noon, got to Coquille 12:20 @ 155501, so we did a lunch stop at their community park in the nice sun.  We pulled out at 1:15 and were back on Hwy 101 by 1:40 at 155528 km, so basically a 55 km off route trip.  We stopped at Cape Sebastion view point for 10 minutes and then off to Brookings, OR.  During the last hour of driving a fog bank rolled in and the temp really dropped, just like on the west coast of Vancouver Is.  We arrived at Brookings Fred Meyers by 3:40 pm. We got some groceries & I bought a phone card for our US Cell.  For $100.00 I got 365 more days of service, 400 minutes plus a deal for 250 more all of which doubled because I have a double minutes deal on the phone, (it came with it).  I’m good to March 2014 now with over 1000 minutes.  The next good deal was that by buying stuff at Fred Meyers I get gas discounts; I filled up & got 10 cents a gallon off.  Sheila phoned around to get us an RV park. It was quite foggy, visibility is low, and we need over 2 hours to get to our planned destination, so we will stay in Bookings tonight. We pulled out of Fred Meyer at 4:45 & into Sea Bird RV Park 5 minutes down the road at 155664.   

Traveled, (including wrong turn trip) 231 km – 144 mi
