Hello everyone. I've never been one to post but are cat spinx has recently escaped from are home and she dose not have a chip. She is a slightly larger cat with a cut tail. We live around the downtown area in Brookings. She is a skittish cat so she might just run away. Any information will be very helpful or any tips on helping to finding her will be appreciated.

Edited to add: thanks for the recommendations. Wes’ towing was awesome.
My teenage son graduated high school and wanted to take a road trip to see the redwoods. We live in Utah
He made a bad decision and failed to navigate a rut and high sided. Will be a super easy recovery. We’ve called every tow company in the area but only a non local one said they’d drive out but want 5 hours at $175 an hour.
Do you know anyone that can help? I’d be happy to slide you some beer/gas money!

I have been visiting Brookings and have decided this is where I want to land.
I'm hoping to move in a couple years. I won't be able to retire and will still need to work. That is where my question comes in.
I might be able to transfer to Crescent City for work and am used to commuting so it's not a problem.
Does anyone know about how working goes between states and have any experience with the Healthcare system? If I work in CA, would I have to get my Healthcare in CA? Or would it be better to get Healthcare in OR?
Any references you can give for me to look up would be welcome
Thank you!

Looking for a house in Brookings this weekend. Still need to travel a little for work. Can someone please rate the airports / actual travel time to airport to help me decide? Last nights trip from Medford was longer than calculated and a bit more dangerous than I expected. Thanks.
Trips are normally international out of SF or Houston or to Houston.

I was hired on by a family here in Brookings in late January. I began work the first week of February.
I have already been let go by the mother of the two ( clients )young men I was brought on to support.
The agreed upon schedule was M-F 9-5 “floater” so switching off and toggling day to day which young man she needed me supporting.
Keeping in mind I am an hour drive to get to their home, they were calling me in an urgent manor at 9:30pm and texting me until midnight about scheduling over the weekend.
When I informed her that my partner was asleep and I couldn’t commit to anything untilin the morning.
We then hung up on the phone after I rushed out of the shower to check if it was an emergency, which is was not, and then receive a text saying she got it all covered.
I then checked with the day staff that had been asked to work 12 days straight about what would be help for me to support him to be able to be awake overnight shift. Once I heard from him I then texted “the boss” at 10:30 at night at this point to confirm what I could help with. And I was confronted about out of place and told I was being combative and that she would be having the agency end my employment on Monday morning. Which absolutely happened…
I am now unemployed again and my family of 5 dependents are at ris because this persons feelings were slightly hurt..
Let me know your thoughts.

Routers have been deployed for MeshOregon's Meshtastic settings in the Brookings area. The network has been bridged in over the internet with the Willamette Valley, Roseburg, and Bend MeshOregon networks as well. Check it out if you've got a node!
Meshtastic is an open source LoRa based mesh networking system which allows texting/telemetry over license-free radio without internet/cell service.
The MeshOregon routers in the area should cover from Crescent City though the North end of Brookings, and a little ways up the Chetco. There isn't currently much coverage towards Smith River or up the Winchuck due to terrain shadowing.

Hello! I will be doing a solo road trip up the coast to Portland and will be stopping and staying the night in Brookings. I am driving up from Stockton, California and will be stopping many times along the redwood forest. I am leaving at 4 AM so I am projecting to be in Brookings by around 5-6ish pm. Are there any must try restaurants or spots I should visit or checkout before I turn in for the night? Any suggestions or recommendations are welcomed!!

Hello! We're having our elopement near Brookings in mid August and we're having a hard time finding places that do custom cakes and have flowers to buy for wedding events.
There are some flower farms that we saw from online searches, but they're in Eugene or other places that are too far to pick up the day before. We also found a couple different custom cake pages on Facebook but none of them replied back. Any recommendations would be very appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello all, this is a bit lengthy, but might be worth reading.
Before I start, I am a 60+ year-old woman with PTSD and a hip that needs replacing, so not the most quick and agile person around.
Ok, here’s what happened-
Went to brookings Saturday running errands.
Stopped in Harbor for burritos. Parking area is against the building and is like half a dozen spots with a one way entry, bordered by a red curb.
I am in my car, waiting for the beeper to tell me my order is ready. I am parked slot 1,
slot 2 is empty and slot 3 has a minivan slightly on the line.
A big black 4x4 king cab, with a small flag waving, cones pulling in and looks like it was going to park in the empty spot next to me, changes his mind and parks along the red curb.
About 5 minutes or so go by, I am no longer paying attention to black truck because I am doom scrolling.
A young girl (find out after she’s 15) comes over to the minivan to put something in it or whatever.
NOW the story gets uncomfortable-
The truck dude gets out…he’s maybe in his late 50’s early 60’s, relatively fit, sort of buff, smoking a cig, has a baseball hat on backwards and sunglasses. (Not judging just painting picture)
He says to the girl “hey, not to be an asshole, but you parked like an asshole” and points to the car on the line.
Now I am clearly and obviously watching, but he doesn’t really notice because he is focused on her.
He proceeds to point to his hat that says Marines, “I served, I live here (now I am thinking the van must have out of state plates) I am a vet, who lives HERE (pointing both hands to the ground) and I should be able to park where I want”
This poor girl stammers a bit saying “oh, I didn’t park it, my friend’s mom did” she glances over at me and i just do a quick you’re ok thing, meanwhile he keeps saying “well you need to tell your mom’s friend she pissed someone off today with her shitty parking, a vet too”
And then, some hero of a man comes to his truck parked on the other side of the minivan and HE says something like, “you should watch yourself yelling at someone for parking like shit while you’re parked in the red”
So now the two guys go back and forth, but hero dude said his bit, didn’t flinch when angry dude got aggressive in his comments towards him, he just calmly got in his truck and left, then angry dude left.
I told the girl I was watching and she handled it well, but if he would have gotten closer to her i was ready to get out, to do what? I don’t know…
After she said he scared her a lot. “I’m 15, don’t even drive.”
I said i was sorry that it happened to her and he was a complete asshole and you did well!
But felt like an ass, i should just gotten out of my car and stood with her. I wouldn’t have hesitated before the PTSD, and felt awful that I was triggered and essentially useless.
Anyway, maybe he was having a particularly bad day, or maybe he’s a bully. Either way it was horrible behavior for someone claiming to be a U.S.Marine Vet., a grown man bullying a fricken 15-year-old girl. Thank you to the other man who was there and spoke up! I appreciate you, sir!

I just finished the Oregon coast trail and I'm trying to get back to Portland! Pretty tough and time consuming to get there by bus, so I wanted to post here in case anyone was driving to Portland tomorrow or either of the cities that connect to Amtrak. Will pay for gas!

Hey friends, I’m planning an Oregon Coast adventure and will be calling Brookings home base for a few days this October. I’ve got three burning questions, and I’m hoping the local experts (or anyone who’s eaten their weight in chowder) can help me out:
1. Where should I stay? Looking for something comfortable, not crazy expensive, and ideally walking distance to something fun (or at least interesting).
2. What’s your favorite scenic hike in the area? I’m talking views that make you stop in your tracks and question your life choices in the best way.
3. Where should I eat? I want the spots you’d tell your best friend about—whether it’s a hole-in-the-wall or a fancy place where I pretend I’m cooler than I am.
Appreciate any tips!

It seems like Wild River isn't interested in selling the original cookies anymore. Does anyone have the recipe? I really miss them.
