Sunday June 28th – Day 11
We missed out on the church service at Sequoia last Sunday because it was getaway day, but we were pleased to find out that there is a Calvary Chapel right here in Gold Beach. So just like being at home, only this home has wheels, we loaded up and went to church this morning.
It was fun to meet the Pastor (Mike Quesada) and find out that he used to live in Downey and also went to our church. What a small world! CCGB is a small church set up in an old warehouse by the small airstrip in “downtown” Gold Beach. Although a humble looking facility from the outside, they have done a great job building a nice church within. We enjoyed the message and casual atmosphere, and also being able to take the coffee they offered into the service. They were a truly nice bunch of people and we enjoyed our visit with them.
After church we changed clothes and went to visit the tide pools at Meyers Creek Beach, about 7 miles south of us. We missed the low tide by about 90 minutes but there was still a lot to see in the pools. It was another stunningly beautiful place to visit, and there was almost nobody there. However, the wind was blowing very hard and it was actually difficult to walk into the wind as it would blow you over if you weren’t leaning forward!
This is our last day here and preparations need to be made for our departure, so after visiting the beach for about two hours we came back to camp. The girls just played around the campground, the grown-ups had a quick nap, and then we made an early dinner. After dinner it was all hands on deck packing to leave. Martha and Patty prepared the inside of the campers. Jack and I packed up the outside. We’re all going to bed early and will try and depart here at about 6am as we have a very long towing day tomorrow. Next stop, South Lake Tahoe.
