After setting up camp, we drove into the small town of Myrtle Creek. Sharon was hoping to do some shopping and find things made of myrtle wood. No such luck. We found one shop with a few myrtle wood items on display in the wood, but it was closed due to Labor day. Driving around the town we did find two covered bridges and a building with interesting historical factoids painted on it. Have no idea what the building was. Cherie did a little research and found that covered bridges were mostly built in the late 1800's and were to used to keep snow and ice off of the bridges. Most uncovered wooden bridges only had a lifespan of about 20 years but a covered bridge could last about 100 years.

Driving to South Beach State Park in Oregon, the fires seem like they are everywhere. Driving was eerie due to the skies being dark and very orange.
