RV Parking Lot 
Wednesday, September 5, 2007, 08:58 AM - Friends/Family
Well, we're staying in our first parking lot RV park. It has fast internet though which we need in order to get more work done. So, we stayed here one night to top up on power and water and get work stuff done, then we're heading out back into a National Forest Recreation Area. There are sand dunes and such. It looks very neat. Hopefully we can find a good spot.
I'll try to get some photos up soon of where we were.

Back to National Forest 
Saturday, September 1, 2007, 04:10 PM - Friends/Family
Because of Labor Day Weekend, we sort of needed to find a place to hide out.. We found a road out into the National Forest again. There was a bit of a ditch in the road, so we took the bikes up and ended up find a very neat spot. We got the RV past the drain ditch in the road easily enough. So, another beautiful forest. After dinner we went for a 6 mile walk down the road further and met a hunter and his two goats (yes, I said goats). They were very cute and are apparently his pets/pack animals.
We went for a bike ride/hike today. Very pretty area. On the bike ride back a, probably hornet, ran into my cheek, apparently freaked out and decided to sting me. So it's a tiny swelled, but so long as I leave it alone it doesn't bother me.
I'll get pics of our little area before we leave. Some people cut down some relatively small trees up here not too terribly long ago, probably for fire wood. So there's still plenty of blocks of wood. Joe made a little fire pit for us and a bench. We're going to make dough boys over a fire tonight. :) (no s'more materials though)

Newport

We have now moved to a new campground. We are now in South Beach State Park. It's a quite large campground, so people everywhere, but there are little trees between campsites... Every site is a hookup site though, so we can finally fully charge our batteries. We're even using the water, so our loud, annoying water pump doesn't run when we run water. :) Fun fun.
The beach is a bit of a walk which is fine except for the fact that we want to go surfing and carrying the boards and wearing the wet suits during the walk would be painful... We'll see what we do.

Lincoln City

Well, we've been staying in Lincoln City in a State Park for a few days. Went on a nice bike ride yesterday and went out to eat at a Thai place. Very good food there. We went to Mexican place the day before that. It was named Mazatlan, which was the same as the place we went in Rockaway Beach that we liked so much. It must have been a similar company, but the menu was a bit different.
We've been running low on power because of lack of sun, and now out camping spot doesn't have much sun either. So today we drove to a public parking by the beach and went surfing while we let our batteries charge some. The surf was crazy. Very wishy-washy and we had to work really hard to get out. So we didn't stay out too long. It was still fun though. :)

More Photos!

Here are some photos of the woods and a stump here. There are these huge, old stumps all over. I think I have a few decent pics on my camera, so the next time I can use my computer (very rainy = no sun = no solar power :( ) I'll try to get those up too.

P.S. I added a couple more from my camera :)


One of many huge stumps throughout the forest.

A different part of the forest. Not far from a clearing where we saw either a wolf or coyote. :)

A nasty, big slug.

A tree growing out of an old stump.

Our little area where we parked for a week.
