Go, See, Do, Experience!
3 travel days, 1213 miles. Where were we headed? South! (Keep reading for why.) We didn’t want to worry about waking up too early so we set the alarm for 6:30am. Pulled out of Seaside Campground in Oregon just before 7:30am. I filled the cooler, without ice, with snacks of crackers, Tillamook cheese curds, licorice,... Continue Reading →
We went to Astoria Column in Astoria, Oregon. It turned out to be even better than Kevin thought it would be. It is high on a hill overlooking all directions. The column has 160 steps (I counted them) on a circular staircase. It was fun to see a ship go under the Astoria bridge. Ship... Continue Reading →
Astoria, Oregon: Fort Clatsop and Lewis & Clark National Historic Park. This is the place where Lewis & Clark and Corps of Discovery stayed the winter of 1805-1806. As we got close to the park, I saw on my Garmin RV 1090 map that there is an airport right across the road. I said to... Continue Reading →
Columbia River Maritime Museum, Astoria, OR 05/23 At Long Beach, Washington, we took our time getting up. We were less than an hour from our next campground and check in isn’t until noon. We left around 10:00am and went back over the bridge and back to Seaside, Oregon, where we had passed yesterday (see last... Continue Reading →
Remember Kevin’s rule that HOWE (footnote 1) HAS to spend at least 1 night in a state in order for us to count it as being there and adding it to our US sticker map? We have been to Washington state quite a few times over the years but not in HOWE. (Washington is a... Continue Reading →
South Beach, OR 05/23 One day when I was at Quilt Retreat, Kevin met up with some friends. They are also traveling full-time. They went to South Beach, OR, across the road from our campground. Kevin found this amazing rock - look and see the shells INSIDE the holes. He said the rock is as... Continue Reading →
My cousin Jennette is the one who got me started sewing quilts in 2020. She is talented in so many ways and she loves to teach others who want to learn. We started sewing together once a month and invited others to join. Our group grew to about 10 ladies and soon we were meeting... Continue Reading →
Blessing The Fleet: https://www.beachconnection.net/news/newp_blessing_fleet042523.php We drove to Newport, Oregon's Yaquina Bay Harbor around 9:30am and got the last parking spot in front of the fishing boats. We walked down to the float platforms where the boats tie on. We saw a lot of families excitedly walking to their boats for the ceremony. Boats All Shining... Continue Reading →
Kevin and I drove south out of Newport, Oregon along Hwy 101. We stopped often at the beaches. While it was cold and incredibly windy, the sun was out. But we still needed to wear our winter coats. The coast is beautiful. I really like the rocks that the waves crash into. Seal Rock, OR... Continue Reading →
We headed to Oregon’s Pacific Ocean coast. We had reservations at Whaler’s Rest Campground which is in South Beach, just a few miles south of Newport. Check in was nice and easy; the lady was very helpful. She suggested to look at sites 58 or 59 because she knew Starlink (Footnote 1) works there. Starlink's... Continue Reading →
