We thought we’d move up the coast just a bit and snag a site in Harris Bay State Park over the border near Brookings, Oregon. Silly us. It may be a weekday but it’s July and by the time we got there the campground was full. So we pedaled on a bit and got a site at the Oceanside RV Park near the municipal airport in Gold Beach. Perhaps we could have made it to the state park earlier if we’d not been so busy geocaching but then we’d have missed out on all those mini-adventures! We continued on once we got to Brookings and by day’s end we’d logged more than a dozen finds!
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
