Brookings, Oregon

Brookings has a pretty fun park, the first of many on drive north. The last time I was here was last summer when I was working as a wildland firefighter on the Klamath National Forest. I think I called into work sick and took a three-day trip up the coast with my friend who was also a fellow firefighter. When we got to the Brookings skatepark there was this little girl flailing around on roller-skates. She said her name was Erica and I told her how my name was Erica and how the girl I was skating with was also named Erica.
Of course she ripped off her roller-skates and ran back to her Mom’s car to grab a skateboard.
