We left Junction City after the wedding and headed back to
the coast. The road we took to the coast was not made for RV travel. It was
very narrow and winding in spots, we were much relied when we finally made it
to the coast. We spent the next two days camped at Tillicum beach at a Federal
Forest campground. It was very nice and right on the ocean. The first day we
got together with my brother John his wife Barb and daughter Jessie. They had
rented a house on the beach for the week and were only six or seven miles from
us. They stopped over to see our site and we had a BBQ lunch and then took a
walk on the beach. It was chilly on the shore but the sun was out. Later that
afternoon Chris and I drove over to their rental. They had a very cute two
bedroom round house right on the ocean with wrap-around views it
was very nice.
We drove up to the town of Newport which was large enough
for a Wal-Mart. I needed to refill a prescription and that was the nearest
place. On the way back my sister Judy had arrived with her family for their
week at the beach. She had rented a large five bedroom home on the beach for
the week. The views were fantastic. We stopped for a short visit and to say our
goodbye’s as we were leaving in the morning and would not see them again until
everyone was back in Minnesota.
We left this morning at 8:00 in the thick fog. There were
spotty section along the coast where the Sun was out and no fog to areas of
very foggy. Didn’t travel very far and were off the road for the day by 11:00.
We are inland from the coast a little ways at a state park. We have a nice site
and it’s much warmer than the coast and less windy as well.
