03-15-22 Tuesday Crescent City, California                     Crescent City Jeeps in Parking Lot: 0 Drive Time: 3 hours Miles: 136.8 Arrived: 3:23 pm Weather this morning was nice, no rain just cloudy. Seeing a bit of blue sky was a pleasant surprise from Mother Nature. I decided to make mushroom and cheese omelets for breakfast, yummy. Quick cleanup and get the RV ready to move out this morning. We needed to get air in one tire, but Barry’s tire inflator was not enough. This KOA has an area you can pull up to for air. This park caters to the OHV crowd, so it makes sense they have air available.  On the road again.... well for one and a half miles. I wanted to stop at the Myrtlewood Factory. All items are handmade, carved or milled. The cutting boards were a work of art. I ended up buying two ornaments, a bowl, a key rack for the RV and a cheese board. Back on the road for real.  The drive down the coast was absolutely beautiful. Some of Hwy 101 was a bit rugged and a few construction

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 Ar

It hasn’t stopped raining for two days. Checked in with Ryan and Amanda. No breakfast. We decided to meet the crew at Rogue’s Brewery in Newport for lunch then to the Oregon Aquarium.  The Crew We met everyone upstairs at the brewery. Ordered beer and food. I tried the only cider they had, and it was OK. Nothing to get excited about, which was disappointing. After lunch we went downstairs, and Barry purchased a few shirts and a flask. Tucker showing off Off to the aquarium before Tucker jumped out of his skin. What a great place. There is a section with jellyfish and was everyone’s favorite except Tucker. His was the sharks.  The jellyfish were in all different types of tanks, but we loved the huge round one. They are so mesmerizing as they float up and down the tube. From here we went in

03-12-22 Friday Depoe Bay, Oregon Sea & Sand RV Park Good Sam Jeeps in Parking Lot: 4 Drive Time: 0 Miles: 0 Arrived: 0 Barry and I each had a zoom call today at 10:00 AM. His was his weekly Saturday call with his Canadian cousins and my monthly CGS board meeting. Mine went until almost 11:30, a little longer than expected. After our calls, Barry packed up his BBQ and pizza oven into the jeep. I got together all the fixings and we headed to Ryan and Amanda’s in Lincoln City. Unloaded everything and Ryan and Addison helped us carry everything upstairs. We loaded the kids in the jeep and met Ryan and Amanda at McMenamins for lunch. Chowder, Scooby Dogs (mini corn dogs), salads and brews. Headed back to the condo after lunch.  I had photos to take of just me. I wanted some professional looking ones to submit for my CGS Board member headshot on the website. Had to change into different clothes for that. We did inside shots because it was pouring and windy outside. Once again everyone h
