Depoe Bay, OR

Sept. 26, 2014
We couldn't check in at Sea Sands RV Park until about 2 so we left Neskowin at 11:30 and went to the Boiler Bay Scenic Viewpoint. The wind was blowing hard on the coast and the sky was partly clear. The surf in Boiler Bay lives up to its name.

Boiler Bay, OR

We got set up in the park in our site very close to the ocean. After lunch we went for a walk along the beach. The wind was blowing very hard from the South so we stopped and went back to our site. Then we drove into Newport for a snack and a sampler of the brews at Rogue Brewing. We stopped at a pizza place on the way back to the park to pick up dinner. The latter part of the day turned out to be sunny with a light wind so we sat out enjoying the beautiful white surf in our "front yard".

We sat out by the fire talking to our neighbors into the evening. It was a great day.

Sept. 27, 2014
After breakfast I went to the beach to hunt for some agates as my Mom did when she and Dad stayed at this park. I found some that we will bring home to add to our supply of agates. Then we went into Depoe Bay to wander through the shops. As in other resort towns most of the stores had relatively the same merchandise so it was quite repetitive. The tide was coming in as we walked along the beach side so some of the waves created a spray that was challenging. We stopped at The Chowder Bowl Cafe and had a good cup of chowder and a salad. We also watched some of the fishing boats come in with catches of bottom fish. Then it was back to the park to enjoy another beautiful day on the coast. In mid afternoon we walked South on the beach and scattered Dad's ashes in the same area we did the same with Mom's ashes 4 years ago. It was wonderful to feel I reunited them at one of their favorite places. Then it was back to camp to relax and socialize with other campers. There was a beautiful sunset this evening.

 









Sept. 28, 2014
We woke to a perfectly clear sky and virtually no wind today. After breakfast I walked along the beach finding a few more agates. The temperature got into the 70's today making it one of the nicest days we have ever spent on the coast capped by another beautiful sunset.

Sept. 29, 2014
We woke to clouds and the threat of rain for our drive home. We took the more scenic route along the coast through Astoria and North through South Bend and Raymond. It was a long rainy drive to cap off our season of travels for 2014. It's almost time to start making reservations for next year. We are hoping head South in February to Arizona, Palm Springs and other sunny points of interest.

Wilsonville, OR and Neskowin, OR

Sept 22, 2014
Well here we go on our final trip of the year. We arrived in Wilsonville at about 1 so got set up and went out for lunch. Then to Camping World to pick up a couple of things. Then back to the park for the evening. It was not a very nice day but we were able to sit out after dinner for a while.

Sept 23, 2014
After breakfast we went to Aurora, OR to the local museum to see if we have any folks in their available genealogy records. I went to Aurora in the 50's with Gpa and Gma Leever. One name I remembered was Kiel which is the name of the original settler of the town. Also, we found that Gail has relatives from the area. After some hours talking to the curator of the museum we found we need to gather more information before further pursuing the historical issue. We will work on it and go see the curator on our next visit. Then to lunch and back to the park to prepare for our drive to Neskowin, OR in the AM.

Sept 24, 2014
Our drive to Neskowin Creek RV Park was less than 100 miles so we left the park at about 10:30. The park is an open field with three rows on full hook up sites. Nothing spectacular to tell about the place except the bathrooms and facilities are clean and there are a lot of rabbits on the grounds. We drove into Pacific City to have lunch at the Pelikan Pub and Brewery and watched the surf for a bit. It was very windy along the beach. After dinner in the park we sat out around our fireplace for the evening.

Sept 25, 2014
We had breakfast and did a load of laundry before going on a drive to Tillamook. We visited the Blue Heron Cheese Factory and bought a great blue salad dressing and a soup mix. Then we went to  lunch in Netarts at The Schooner Restaurant looking out at the wind and rain in the bay. We drove back to the park via Three Capes Road. This is a pretty drive along the coastline. We had a nice dinner and the wind died down so we sat by the fire for the evening. Tomorrow we drive to the Depoe Bay area, only about 30 miles.

Chelan, WA

September 8, 2014
We had a nice drive of 167 miles in our new truck hauling the Bullet. The new rig gets about 1 mpg better mileage than the old GMC and uses regular gas so is saving us on two accounts. When we got to town we went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant. Then we went to check into Lake Shore RV Park where we usually stay. We have a nice sight with a great view of the lake. Later in the day sister Terry and sister Cheryl and her husband arrived in their motorhomes. It was like a mini family reunion. The weather was nice and warm and cool in the evening.

September 9, 2014
We all got in the truck before lunch to go see Alta Lake State Park where we were in July and were evacuated out because of a wild fire. The devastation driving into the park was awful. About 40 of the homes along the golf course were destroyed by the fire. Very sad. We then drove into the park. Most of the tent sites along the upper side of the road were totally burned. The fire seemed to have jumped around the area randomly burning trees and anything in its way, It was like a moonscape in places. Unearthly. There was even some people camping in the park. We decided we won't be going there for a few years. Gail and I went for a walk into town in the afternoon.

September 10, 2014
Terry needed some brake work on her RV so I followed her to Les Schwab and brought her back to the park. Then we all went to a couple wineries for tasting and then to Lake Chelan Brewing for lunch today. It was a nice and was even nicer when Terry got the call telling her her rig was fixed and it was a minor repair. Then back to the park for the afternoon. Gail and I took another walk into town for some exercise. The wind came up in the afternoon but diminished in evening so we sat out for a bit.

September 11, 2014
Cheryl and John had to leave today so we hung out with then til about lunch. Then Terry, Gail and I went for more wine tasting. At Chelan Ridge Winery we were told about a good artisan pizza joint in Manson. It was closed but we had our minds set on pizza so we went to Westside Pizza. Pretty darn good pie. It was a pretty windy day with even a couple rain showers throughout  the day. It all lessened in the evening so we sat out for a bit.

September 12, 2014
Time to go home today so we were on the road before 9:30 and home by 1. Our final trip of the season starts Sept 22.

Prosser, WA

Sept 5, 2014
Well here we go again on our annual September trip to Wine Country RV Park in Prosser. We arrived at about 1 to wonderful hot weather. I went for a refreshing swim in the pool. My sister Terry arrived later in the day so after she got set up we went to pizza dinner at the new location of one of our favorite places. Then back to the park to enjoy the warm evening.

Sept 6, 2014
After breakfast we were off for some wine tasting and shopping. After lunch we went out again to a local mercantile and other shops. It was another hot, 95 degree day so we tried to stay in air conditioned businesses. Even though it was hot the night temps were in the 40's so we sat around our fire in the evening.

Sept 7, 2014
Midday we were off to a little more wine tasting and lunch at Wine O'Clock Bistro. This is a wonderful place with a great variety of eats. Terry had one of our favorites, a wood fired pear and bacon pizza with white cheddar cheese. We had a new great one. It's called Spinach salad pizza which has bacon, some red pepper flakes and fresh spinach added at the end of the cooking time. Delicious. Tomorrow we are off to Lake Chelan for the week.

Boise, ID

August 17, 2014
We hit the road for Boise this morning at about 9. As we were nearing American Falls we heard a loud pop. I checked the gauges in the truck seeing nothing wrong so pulled over and found we had blown the left rear trailer tire. It was blown wide open with the steel belting outside the tire. This was one of the tires we had to buy in June when we found two of them were worn out. Fortunately the shoulder was very wide so I was able to change the tire relatively safely.We were only about a mile from American Falls where there is a Les Schwab but it was Sunday so they were closed. Tire changed we continued to Boise. We got set up at Hi Valley RV Park on another hot day. We stayed around the park for the day keeping as cool as possible.

August 18, 2014
First thing this morning I took the blown trailer tire to Les Schwab to be repaired. After breakfast we went into Boise to explore the old part of town and the Basque Block. We really like Boise. It's a clean friendly city. The Basque population of Boise is about 15,000, the largest in the US. The Block is an area that was settled by the Basque farmers in the mid 1800's. There are also some pretty interesting eateries in the area. We wandered around town a bit and then back to the park. Later in the day we went to Gail's dear friend Sheryl's home to have dinner with her and her husband Tony and their daughter and her family. We had a really good day.

August 19, 2014
It was another warm day in Boise today. At about noon we went to Sheryl's home to meet up and explore old town Nampa. She drove us into town and we had lunch at Messenger's Pizza. Usually we get a pie and share it and take some home. Messenger's features a slice and sides. The basic pie is probably about 24" round and is cut into six pieces. That and a salad was a big meal. Then we drove around a bit and the ladies went shopping in a make  up store. I wandered around in an electronics store. Then we went back to Sheryl's house for the afternoon and a light french dip and fruit dinner. Afterwards we went back to the park for the evening.

August  20, 2014
We stuck around the park today except for going to wash the truck and do some minor shopping. We took a walk around the park which has over 200 sites. Some are long term campers bit the mix is good and there aren't any old beat up junky rigs like we have seen in some parks. After dinner Sheryl came to visit and see our trailer. She is such a good strong person. Her husband, Tony, has ALS and is bedridden. She gives him hospital quality care all on her own in their home. She left at about 8 and we sat up a bit before going in for the night.

August 21, 2014
We got up and went to Les Schwab to get the repaired tire put on the trailer. After that we drove to Hermiston, OR for the night. We stayed in Pioneer RV Park. It is a nice clean park but the majority of the guests appear to belong term or permanent guests.

August 22, 2014
Up and on the road for the drive home early. We got home at about 1 PM and got unpacked and out the trailer away for a two week stay at home. We traveled over 2200 miles in 20 days. Overall it was a great trip.

Our drive from Helena to Idaho Falls was uneventful. We stayed at Snake River RV Park. This is a nice park with grassy sites and all the amenities. We were able to sit out enjoying the warm weather. We did our laundry and just relaxed. We have about 300 miles to get to Boise.

Helena, MT

 August 11, 2014
We drove 300 miles to Helena, MT. When we arrived everybody was at Soup Creek so we got ourselves set up. When they came back to Lakeside I went for a SeaDoo ride with Caitlin, one of the twin 13 year old granddaughters. She really likes to go fast and jump boat wakes. Very fun time. Also at the property were Wade, an EMT who works with Steve and his wife and daughter. Wade is an avid fisherman so he brought a huge cooler full of fresh fish. For dinner they cooked fresh sea bass fish and chips, onion rings, salmon seviche, and dungeness crabs. WHAT???? I think we had more fresh fish in camp than in all the fish markets in Helena. After dinner we had a huge fire and s'mores.

August 12, 2014
When we got up the kids were doing breakfast and invited us to join them. After breakfast they were going back to Soup Creek so Gail and I ventured into Helena to explore the town. We walked through the old town area and visited a variety of shops. Then back to the camp for a nice warm afternoon. When the group returned from Soup Creek they were preparing for dinner. We ate on our own because they were having fresh grilled marinated tuna and we had had enough fish the night before. After dinner we were all out at the fire pit again.

August 13, 2014
After breakfast we gathered Carley and Caitlin to go for a day trip. We headed for the town of Townsend which is a western theme community. We drove from there to White Sulpher Springs where we stayed 7 or 8 years ago. We had a fun lunch at Dora's Cafe. Lots of laughs. Then we took them to the Springdale Colony which is a self sustaining Huderite community. The folks there school their children, make their own clothes, sell products to the public and retail outlets throughout the state. We had gotten produce from them on our previous visit so wanted to do this again. When we drove in the people were watching us from their homes and doorways. One of the ladies sent some some people to help with what we wanted. We got cucumbers, carrots, radishes, dill pickles, and bread. It is all organic and delicious. When we were getting ready to leave two of the young women helping us asked if the girls were twins. They were very curious. The twins really enjoyed the experience. Back at the lake we had dinner of fried walleye, chili ghetti, salad and other goodies with Jeremy and Deanna, friends and next door neighbors at the lake.

August 14, 2014
This morning Jeremy was cooking Huckleberry pancakes and maple sausage. It was a stormy day with wind, some rain and thunder. Everyone stayed in camped and watched movies or played games. When the weather cleared in the afternoon we guys went out for some trout fishing in Jeremy's boat. We caught 2 that weighed over 3 pounds. We got back to camp at about 5 so it was time for dinner and some time outside.

August 15, 2014
Up in the morning to have a light breakfast. The weather was still a little storm at times so we stayed close to camp sitting under the awning if needed. Between squalls we all played some horseshoes. For dinner we went to the Lakeside Bar then back to Jeremy's house to watch the Seahawks game.

August 16, 2014
We were up early to get packed up for a drive of about 250 miles to Idaho Falls.
