Just south of the bridge

South Beach is separted from New Port by a bridge. They say its historic.



















We found this really great place, just south of the bridge, to eat our fresh fish. Even got Gordon to try a fresh (cooked) crab sandwich the other day. He liked it, he liked it. (:
Its the busiest place, from morning to nite.

Still at Whaler's Rest

We got a weeks extention here on the coast. Good thing! Its been really hot (100's) the natives say, but here at Whaler's we have been really cool. We are back up at Dry Camping again, but we can do that. Hopefully it will cool off before we head for Eugene area.

Did I mention that the kitten has a name? Kristi asked how we found him. Told her he was under the MH. She suggested AXEL. Sounds good to us. Thanks Kristi

Jerrie's mom fell in love with him too.

The other day he discovered someone in the mirror. He wasn't quite sure what to think of that other cat.

WHERE WERE WE

Pictures of Agate Beach, South Beach, OR People are telling us that it has been unusually cool, windy and foggy this past week. We were wondering if this was usual. We're not complaining when we hear its breaking heat records inland.

On to The Dalles

The 3 of us stopped in Baker City, OR at an Oregan Trail interpretive center. Very interesting & sobering. To think our ancesters made this trip on foot, with oxen and wagons, no real roads. And we think we have it bad now.

We had a great time with Scott and Tia, Gordon's cousin. Tia wanted to show us some wild life. This is for you Tracy

This post is out of order

We finally have full hookups. I guess we did when we were in Blue Mesa, CO. But there we couldn't get cell phone or internet. )o:

We got to Whaler's Rest (South Beach, OR) Monday afternoon, but we were told we had to wait until morning to get in.

We drove down the coast several miles, but couldn't find anywhere to park. State Parks were full. KOA wanted about $60. Come on! Just for over night?! Forget it! Then we found a parking lot of a real estate gallery. Asked a neighbor who said as long as we were out of there by 8am there would be no problem.

The next morning we were waiting at Whaler's gate. We were told there was dry camping up the hill. A nice place - cell phone and internet worked. The next morning we went for a walk and were told by one of the campers that there was a space we could pull into. Sure! we kept on walking. A little later this guy came by again and told us the office said we could have it. Gordon went to check. SAur enough! They said they had looked for us the day before, but find us. Funny, we didn't leave the sight. Anyway, we are now all set up. I have 3 loads of wash done, and the sun is finally shining.

There are wild raspberries right out the door.

We are set for at least a week. Its cool, mist rolls in each morning. So far its been rather cool, better than 100's.

Stowaway

When we left Marilyn & Dave's this kitten had hidden under the MH someplace. Kept hearing him and checking, but we couldn't find him until the next morning. Where he was or how he stayed under there for 24 hrs. who knows. But as you can see our little stowaway is making himself at home.

Sorry the image is so large. I lost my programs that could reduct the size.

Happy 4TH of July

We are in Twin Falls with Marilyn and Dave. The falls are great this year. They had lots of rain in June, so everything is beautiful and green too.
