Hi all, fun visit at the Washington coast right at the mouth of the mighty Columbia.

Day 32 (Oct. 16)

Coffee and breakfast then over to visit with Ed and Carol for a while. Then Millie and I headed to Oysterville, WA. 

Quaint old village with historic homes and quite a few newer homes at the end of the Long Beach peninsula. Cool and rainy with a bit of a wind, and that did not stop us from having a good time. Sampled some local clam chowder. Our third one since we got to the coast and each have been great and different. 

Took a walk on the beach at Long Beach, WA.

Wandered back “home” and visited a couple of thrift stores and a distillery on the way. 

Leftovers for supper and visit with Ed and Carol till time to walk the boys and head for bed. Been a great day and no plans for tomorrow.

 

Day 33

Relaxed morning with usual fare. Helped out around Ed and Carol’s, getting a few punch list items on their new living quarters completed. Was fun to do some little projects, that needed doing, completed. Visited with Laine, Chris and family for a while and finally finished the day taking Ed and Carol out for supper. 

Ed had the burger, for supper and lunch tomorrow!

Another great seafood meal, Millie and I had the Halibut & Fries basket. Then it was “movie night” at Ed and Carol’s. Old 8mm family movies, most around 60 years old. Boy, did that stir up memories. Early to bed as we will be early to rise for a long travel day to Florence, OR.

 

Day 34

Up and ready to go early, for us. On the road by 9:30AM for what ended up being a 7+ hour travel day. Of course we had a few stops as the entire day was US 101 along the Oregon coast. Not the fastest way to go 196 miles. OK, we stopped in Tillamook to check out the cheese and in Lincoln City to enjoy some time on the beach and one more stop near Yachats for a walk with the Boyz and to just stop for a bit. 

Birds of a Feather.......must be visiting his cousin!

Rugged Oregon coast

Highway 101

Oregon Dunes

Set up camp at the Port of Siuslaw Campground in Florence, Oregon. Adult beverage, tasty supper and a little TV before bed. Gonna hit the beach tomorrow before the rain comes.

Make your time today productive and be kind.

Tom and Millie
