03-14-22 Monday – Depoe Bay to Oregon Dunes

-




03-14-22 Monday
Oregon Dunes, Oregon
Oregon Dunes KOA
Jeeps in Parking Lot: 0
Drive Time: 2.5 hours
Miles: 105.6
Arrived: 4:00 pm 

Today is a drive day. Up at 8:00 am, coffee and tea. We were out of the park by 10:30 am. Hit Walmart for a few supplies, mainly bananas. Had to stop and get gas and propane in the RV. Stopped at a Chevron (since we had points) for gas and propane. Unfortunately, the propane hose was not long enough. We ended up at a Fred Meyer gas station but had to remove the jeep to get into the spot by the propane. Had problems disconnecting the jeep. Barry cut his hand trying to remove the jeep from the tow bar. We lost a few hours.


It was pouring rain the entire way to the Oregon Dunes but an easy drive. We made it to the KOA about 4:00 pm. Pulled into our spot and set up. We decided to go see the dunes even though it was raining. We came this way to see the dunes and darn it we are going too, even if we get soaked. About five minutes away is Horsfall RV Recreation Area. We drove to the beach and walked out to the water. It was still pouring. We collected shells that are whole ones and some great sized ones. I had a blast choosing which shells to keep. I wanted to find a whole sand dollar but all of them were torn up due to the crashing of the waves throughout the storms. We drove into some of the parking and staging areas to see the dunes. Didn’t venture onto the dunes due to the weather plus we would have to let air out of our tires so we would not get stuck. 

We were soaked by this time and headed back to the RV. Changed out of our wet clothes into our warm pjs. Leftover fish tacos for dinner. It was a fun day and not letting mother nature stop us from having a good time.

June 26 through June 30, 2023 Pismo Beach

Pacific Coast Village Site #382 JEEPS - 5 (Tuesday), 22 (Thursday) We left home on Monday, June 26th , for Pismo Beach. We are staying at Pismo Coast Village RV Resort for the first time. They have 400 sites. We made the reservations six months ago. We normally stay at Oceano State Beach RV Park, but we wanted to try this place. We are here with Jan & Ken Reynolds. This place does not let you choose a site; they will only tell you your site number the morning you check-in. This is also a place you can join for $50,000, and you get the first pick of sites...ridiculous. You can store your RV at the resort storage across the street. If you are a member, they will bring your RV to your site for you, one perk for the fifty grand. We checked in around 4:30 PM on Monday. The Reynolds are two sites from us and checked in about thirty minutes before us. Check-in time is 4:00 PM. We hooked up and headed to Old Juan's Cantina in Oceanside. We love this place, especially its huge margarit

My Man! Steps today - 14,442 Saturday, and so much for sleeping in. The Reynolds daughter Brook, son-in-law Aaron, granddaughter Kensley, and grandson Arik arrived this morning. Soon we heard Kensley and Arik at our door to say hello. They seemed excited to see us, and they gave big hugs to both of us. Then, they told us about school, and everything they have been doing, as much as an 8 and 10-year-old can say to you. Then back over to abuela and papa's RV.  Soon after, we were off to Pismo Beach. We drove to the left, went as far as we could, then turned around and headed toward the far-end gate. The part of the beach you can drive on was so short compared to before, but it was due to the recent storms. The Reynolds were ahead of us, and as we passed the first gate, a guy flagged us down. His truck was stuck, and he needed a tow to get out of the hole he was in. Barry said sure, and I texted the others to let them know what was happening. They pulled off of the beach highway and w

Week 52 – Theme "Future" – 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks This is my first year working on this year-long weekly writing prompts provided by Amy Johnson Crow and posted on her Generations Cafe Facebook page. I will do my best to write something each week.  THREET FAMILY PHOTO FUTURE PROJECT Back Row-Billie Mack, Donal Dean, Samuel, Wilma Sue, Willie, Floyd Junior, James Elice Front Row-Ernie, Sylvia, Bruce Travis, Clara Marie, Sandra Kay, Roger Dale The above photo is of my father’s family. My father was born Billie Mack Threet, AKA Billy Max Threet, and has ten siblings. I do not know when he changed the spelling of his first and middle names. This is a something I would like to narrow down in the future.  Another 2022 future goal I have is to write a small piece about each of his siblings and parents. I don’t know much about the early years of dad’s family or vital records dates, but my future goal of 2022 is to try to write down what I do know and possibly learn something new. H
