Azalea City Park

We are now in Brookings, Oregon.  We are staying, At Rivers Edge on the Chetco River.  It is so beautiful.  After doing laundry this morning, we headed to the Azalea City Park.  These azaleas are native plants. The paths follow an original pack miners trail that was used by miners in the 1850's. The park was dedicated in 1939.

The park was right across the river from our campground.  They allowed dogs, so Pralines got to go and it made her very happy.

We thought the flowers were beautiful.  I don't think these pictures do the azaleas justice.  They have an Azalea Festival at the end of May.  Too bad we will be gone by then.  For the entertainment of locals and tourists alike, The American Music Festival, a free summer concert series is held in the park every year.

There was a lovely Chapel open every day and run by volunteers.  Perfect I thought for a wedding.

 Next we went to Harris Beach.  It was a lovely place to walk, but was very windy.  Two Miniature Schnauzers got to the beach just as we were walking up.  Pralines thought they were way too noisy. The owner called them the Terrible Twins.

Finally we went to see Brooking, Oregon's Harbor and Marina.

We decided to get an ice cream cone.  The lady at the ice cream place gave Pralines her own cone.  Pralines, Bob, and I thought it was the end of a good day.
