I stepped inside my local OTA joint and a large, tattooed woman with enormous breasts barely contained in a halter and wearing a camo trucker hat that read \u201cCamp Bitch\u201d jiggled toward me on a collision course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sweet country Jesus!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the last minute she swerved around the pool table and I was safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bad dance music played and two other women danced along. The Camp Bitch joined them and there was plenty of profane hootin’ and hollerin.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obviously tourists, but all the great coastal OTA joints are great because of the occasional mixing of local and tourist and the stories that result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The women were hitting the sauce hard and appeared in what I would describe as camping or rafting attire. They were all in their 30s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I sat a high table across the room and the OTA bartender brought my usual ale. I asked about the ruckus and she informed me that the women were the self-described Roseburg Camping Bitches and were camping at the county beach park about ten miles away, which of course meant they were drinking in nearby bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time to eavesdrop because it was impossible to write with all the hell raising going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo kids, no dogs!\u201d one of them yelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There also wasn’t any men with them. Maybe they were past men. Can you blame them considering the state of the American male in his 30s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n They carried on for 15 minutes, slammed some shots, and then I overheard them say they were going to hit the Coos Bay thrift stores. For sure treasures abounded that the thrift hounds hadn’t discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It had been a long time since I’d seen tourists fired up like this and I relished the sight. And not once did I observe any one of them doing anything of their phones for social media purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I stepped inside my local OTA joint and a large, tattooed woman with enormous breasts barely contained in a halter and wearing a camo trucker hat that read \u201cCamp Bitch\u201d jiggled toward me on a collision course.
