Showing up in Coos Bay, again in the
cover of darkness, we came upon a small town, a main street and a few
left turns. Bradley's house is a none stop revolving door of picking
up and dropping off at respective schools, basketball practices and
dance classes. On top of that, running amuck is a pair of dopey
loving dogs and a floppy mischievous cat. We had the opportunity to
steal Bradley for a couple nights. The first night we kept it simple,
and woke up to explore the wonders Coos Bay has to offer the next
day. We drove to the beaches that opened up to rock walls and
slippery boulders that were decorated with sea stars (starfish) and
urchins. Collectively we decided that whether the tide was coming on
or out, we were going to attempt making it across the slippery rocks
with pools etched out by tidal waves to the caves (?). The funniest
part, besides Caleb eating it three times, was the commentary. At one
point on our spelunking adventure we could not see two feet in front
of our faces and Bradley dunked his foot in toxic green gross cave
water, probably the reservoir for cheap beer spills and the answer to
no close by water closets. After our tour, Bradley took us to Coos
Bay's very own, best sub shop and in true small town fashion, it was
awesome. We headed out that evening to visit with some of Brads
friends and to make a long story short, got shitwasted. Brads brother
showed up and it was all down hill. They are pretty much the same
person, equally snarky and almost identical. The hilarity continued
until we showed up and some girls house in the boons, and all I knew
we needed to get back to our mattresses on Brads floor. The next day,
we had more City Subs, this time for breakfast (although it was
noon). We had to get on the road soon so a farewell to the puppies,
Brads parents and brother (way cooler then Brad) and eventually Brad
himself. Next stop, Portland, OR.
