Yep, we have officially started Year 2 on the road. We left Sutherlin after 3 days of visiting & lots & lots of errands & headed to Lakeside for 2 days. It turned in to 3 days because Ken came over to fish for salmon. Rod was only going to fish 2 days but we "talked" him in to another day of fishing.
He certainly was very HAPPY we did...he caught a 23.8 pound salmon. We were worried it wouldn't fit in our RV freezer, but it did & we have enjoyed a couple of delicious meals.
Today we decided to try making Lox. I found a real simple recipe online & Rod found the perfect rock to weigh the marinated salmon down in the refer. Can't wait to taste it in a few days.
After Lakeside we headed to Brookings for a couple of nights & he tried surf fishing with no luck. After Brookings, we stopped for one night at Benbow just south of Garberville, CA. It was expensive, but I always wanted to try it out.
Before we got to Garberville, we took a pit stop & ate lunch at the Samoa Cookhouse in Eureka, CA. All we could get through was soup, salad, homemade bread & dessert. We passed up beef short ribs in gravy, peas, baked beans & Spanish Rice. Now, 20 years ago when we started stopping at Samoa Cookhouse for breakfast, lunch or dinner we were able to eat all that & sometimes more. They give you refills. Not anymore, but what we had was good.
The other place we checked out on the way to Garberville was Orick camping by the beach. It has been on my bucket list like...forever. Well, no camping there any more so scratch that off the list. At least I scratched off Benbow.
We have a couple more stops before we get to Kelseyville for the reunion. The lox is part of our contribution to the weekend. I also picked up 4 bottles of wine to share since wine is so expensive in CA, I bought it before we left OR. Smart, huh?
