Coos Bay Oct 31–Nov 1

I missed a couple of blogs on our way down the coast. This is the first one was this one and the other was Brookings.

Here in Coos Bay at one of our favorite RV parks ‘The Mill Casino RV Park’. We are fairly level without the leveling jacks which are refusing to go down. Curiously, the slides all work and they are in the same hydraulic system. 

The highlight of our stop here was finding a great restaurant ‘Little Italy’. We stopped by for lunch, which was wonderful, so we went back for dinner. The chief-owner came out and told us the history of his restaurant which started out in the San Francisco bay area.

Cape Disappointment 10/21–10/23 2013

Monday, 10/21/13

We drove into Shelton this morning to meet Jim and Helene downtown at the Suzan restaurant for breakfast. We had an excellent breakfast here last year and were anxious to share it with them. It was very good again.

We made it back to Little Creek Casino in time to get on the road around noon.  Foggy and overcast which cleared and became sunny by the time we arrived at our site 36, in Cape Disappointment State Park at around 2:30pm . Easy site to get into and good satellite view but no Wi-Fi signal and no cell phone.  Ty needed out so Debbie and I took him on a walk to the beach. It’s a long way, about an hour there and back. He decided to lie down on the way home. I guess he tired out and he was happy to be carried the rest of the way back to camp.

Today we drove over to Warrenton across the bridge from Astoria to get tires for the Jeep. Les Schwab questioned why I wanted Michelins, they don’t carry them, and priced some Toyo’s at around 950 dollars.  We then stopped at Costco and ended up buying a set of Michelins for 650 dollars. We were going to eat lunch over in Astoria at the Brewery but we settled for a $1.50 hot dog and coke at Costco while they installed the tires.

Debbie pulled out and set up the sewing machine last night and was hard at work this morning completing a table runner for the Thanksgiving Holidays. 

For lunch we headed up to Long Beach to the Lost Roo for some fish tacos but it was closed for a private event so we regrouped and stopped at the quilt store instead where Deb picked up some fabric for the back of her “one hexagon piece of all my fabric” quilt.  We stopped at Goody Restaurant for lunch. We both had fish and chips. They were in the top five best. I think Goody’s is our new lunch stop in Long Beach.
