Harris Beach State Park
Brookings, Oregon

We have booked an 8-day stay here so the sites around us get new campers every couple of days.

Yesterday, while walking Danny, our new neighbor commented on how handsome Danny was.

A few minutes later, while we were relaxing at the picnic table on our site, our neighbor came over to as if he could pet Danny. Before I could answer, Danny was at his side begging for attention.

He was currently from Vancouver, but originally from Ontario with large family roots in New York City. Many of which were Irish policemen. He did have a pleasant bough.

He and his wife Alex were traveling the coast but were a bit sad that they could not take their 2 large German Shepard dogs with them. He then asked if he could take Danny over to his site to meet his wife because they so loved dogs and missed their own. Danny was in 7th heaven getting so much attention. We all had a lovely chat about travel and dogs.

This morning I was going to stop by their RV and leave a note but when I looked out my bedroom window, their space was empty. Later, when I took Danny out for a walk, I spotted a piece of paper on the ground and to my surprise it was a note from Alex expressing how much she enjoyed meeting us and wanted us to keep in touch by email.
She apparently did not know we have a blog but she will soon.It is days like these that make life so enjoyable.
