Coos Bay to Brookings

We are at the The Mill Casino RV park where we stopped last year. Our site is in the front row facing part of Coos Bay.  Where we are parked is just down from the Coast Guard Station. Looking  through the front windows We can watch tugs moving barges and freighter up and down the bay.  A large Coast Guard buoy tender slowly went by on its way out to sea.

We enjoyed full hookups with 5oamps. The park is level, however the sites for some reason are high in the center and lower at each end and it took two blocks in front to level the coach .  I guess it works for 5th wheels and trailers but not so much for motorhomes.

From here we’re traveling down to Brookings.

We arrived at the Brookings Elks a little afternoon. It rained on us most of the way to Brookings and was lightly raining when we arrived.

The sites here are level with water and 30amp electric. Besides the two pull-through sites, there are several back in sites. Located a mile or so from town, its very quite here unless the Elks are gathering. Satellite has a clear view. Didn’t try the off-the-air reception, but I would think it would be good here also

Florence Oregon

We’re at one of our favorite Elks campground just outside of Florence. This RV park is located in a rustic wooded area. They also have a “RV park” in town on the parking lot next to the lodge. We’re in space 8. The sites have EW, 50amps, cable TV and Wifi. The cable TV at our site was poor. No cell signal.

While Ty and I were walking around the campground we came upon a few deer also walking around.

We went out for dinner and decided to try out the Maple St Grille. The outside looked like a really large restaurant but it only occupies a small part of the lower front. About six or so tables. Debbie tried tried the crab cakes and I had a sandwich. We enjoyed talking with the owner but the food wasn’t very good.

Tillamook Oregon

We arrived here at the RV park in Tillamook on Sunday in time to catch the afternoon football game. The sites here are slanted down at the rear so the back end of the RV has to be raised to level the unit. The worst cast scenario. It does  have full hookups and 50amps.

After setting up we drove back into town to Jayne’s, one of Debbie’s favorite quilt shops. A stop at Fred Myers and back to the Horizon.

The next afternoon we drove a few mile back up the coast to the Pirates Cove restaurant.

To bad the food wasn’t as good as the view.
