Waldport

June 10-We left the depressing RV park in Coos Bay a day early and drove the 85 miles to Waldport, OR. The park here is on the Alsea River just out of town. We are the only traveling campers in the park. The rest of the rigs are people living full time or in town working and staying in the park. This seems to be the way it is fr us. Chinook RV is a real nice park and the owners are very accomodating. We walked around Waldport after we got set up checking out the local businesses. We needed ice and it was free if you spent $10 at a mini mart so I bought a book and a candy bar. Here are a couple pics of the park.


June 11-Went to Depoe Bay to wander around. The fishing charter boats were in so we watched the cleaning and packaging of their catch. Of course we had to wander through numerous gift shops. It's a wonder they all stay in business with so many of them competing. Then up to Salishan to look for a Butter Boy. No luck. Then to some beaches for beachcombing. We found a few agates and unusual rocks. Gail has been collecting rocks on our travels so we added to these. It was a beautiful day with little wind. Went to dinner at the Flounder, a tavern in Waldport, that has great burgers. We had a terrific sunset at our camp that I will share with you here.



June 12-We went back to Newport to see if we could find a way to walk the North jetty. We found a trailhead so set out across the beach to the jetty. We walked as far as allowed. The way was blocked by very large boulders. We returned to the truck and went to Old Town Newport for more site seeing. More fishermen with their catch, restaurants shops. WE FOUND OUR BUTTER BOY! We're going to use him tonight. Then back to camp. It started raining so it's a good time to work on the blog.
We leave tomorrow bright and early for about a 300 mile drive home. Thanks for following us on our trip. We go out again on July 6 to Montana, Alta Lake and maybe more.
