A Coos Bay Day…
Today was just pretty much a lazy, do-nothing day in Coos Bay. We slept in late and hung around the coach until almost noon.
I forgot to mention that yesterday at 12:32 pm on our trip up from Klamath we racked up 30,000 miles on our coach. Not bad for only 2 – 1/2 years on the road and traveling from Alaska to Key West to Nova Scotia to San Diego. (Not in that order, of course)
I talked to our friend Allen Bode this morning. We met Allen and his wife Jan last year in Titusville, FL while we were both at the Manatee Hammock RV Park. They are out in this part of the country and we were hoping to make our schedules match up so we could get together. But it looks like we’ll have to try it later.
About 11:30 am we drove back over the marina area to have lunch. We decided to try another seafood restaurant that was recommended to us, the Sea Basket. And it was just about as good as yesterday.
After lunch we went by the Post Office to drop off some packages to our son Chris and our granddaughter Piper.
Then we stopped by Walmart to pick up some things and it was back to the rig for the night.
Tomorrow we’ll head further north to Seaside, OR. On the way we’ll stop about 60 miles up the road at the Sea Lion Caves. Hopefully we’ll see some sea lions. We haven’t done too well on the whale front.
More tomorrow from Seaside OR.
First Time in Oregon…
We left Klamath River RV Park about 10 am heading for Oregon.
This was a really beautiful park and we wish we could have spent more time here.
This is our first time to be in Oregon. The only other state out here we haven’t been in yet is Utah. But that’s coming up.
On today’s trip, we tried combating our continuing cat barf problem by not feeding the cats this morning before we left.
And believe me, they weren’t happy about this, and let us know it.
But it did seem to work. Mister tried to once, but didn’t have anything to throw up. Finally they were both so miserable they just curled up together on the sofa. This from two cats that really don’t like each other.
I guess misery DOES love company.
Getting into Oregon, we started seeing acres of cranberry bogs. Always thought they grew in the northeast, not the northwest.
We arrived at the Midway RV Park in Coos Bay about 1:45 pm and got set up.
Note the large pelican carving just to the right of our site.
I think Jan, who collects pelicans, might be trying to figure out if this one will fit in the coach somehow. I don’t think so.
A little later we headed out a seafood restaurant called Fisherman’s Grotto that the park manager had recommended to us. And it was great. Jan wants to go back tomorrow.
About 7 pm I fixed coffee and we had the pie we brought home from Marie Callender’s last night. Delicious as always.
Not sure yet what we’ll do tomorrow.
We’ll see…
