We left from Brookings this morning after debating whether to stay another night because of the weather. It was raining hard and the wind was strong and gusting. I wasn’t anxious to go out into the weather to unhook and connect the Jeep. We weren’t anxious to drive along in wind gusts and on a wet, twisty, and narrow coastal road. In about a half hour the rain let up a little and we decided to continue on to Eureka.
The next morning we hunted down one of the best places we have ever found for breakfast, “Chalet House of Omelettes”. The restaurant is in the front rooms of an old house and the tables are so close together there’s hardly any room to walk.
After breakfast we drove around the waters edge. Across a bridge took us to a peninsula and along the edge were lots of berthed sailboats. Across the water we saw a large mansion that we hadn’t seen before on our drives around the city.
It turned out to be the former home of William Carson a pioneer lumberman and was built in 1885.
The home is now the Ingomar Club, a private club of lawyers and judges. The club added on a large dining room seen on the left.
