South Beach in Newport

What fun it is to spend a long weekend at South Beach State Park in Newport, Oregon. This is one of our favorite state parks where there is plenty of room to park our coach in comfort. We got here on Thursday, the 27th, before it started to rain. Our friends, Lynda & Rod showed up about two hours after we did.

Did I mention rain? Well, it was beautiful (some clouds, but mostly sun) until 10 in the evening, then it first started sprinkling, then it poured. Friday, it started out damp, but cleared until Lynda and I drove north to Lincoln City to do some browsing and shopping at the outlets. Just as we got parked, it started raining, then it again poured. It rained so hard the gutter downspouts were overflowing. Naturally, after we got under cover, (totally soaked) it slowed down and didn't really rain again until we were headed back to get in the car. Oh well, we had fun and enjoyed the area (also spent a tiny bit of money).


This is us just after getting set up and Ken is washing the bugs off the coach's windshield.


Here comes Rod & Lynda!


They are in their site and just getting settled in.

Today, Ken & I are going back to Lincoln City (20 miles north of Newport) for a geocaching event. Actually, it is a city wide celebration in honor of the American Veterans with a little geocaching thrown in.

More later.
